First, quit smoking.
Next thyroid hormone tanked. (Elevated TSH)
Next UC BIGTIME
Next GERD
Next Pulmonary hypertension
Next COPD (Emphysema due to 40 pack years smoking)

So, I'm glad I quit smoking but it doesn't really help the progression of PAH and COPD, plus it caused UC. At least I know why my fatigue is unrelenting even though my UC is "under control". Life is fragile, if you're having a good day, live it to the fullest!!! If you're having a rough go, live it to the fullest!

I'm glad you quit smoking as well!

quitting smoking didn't cause your UC.....it nicely masked your symptoms, however. Great it's under control at this point.

Hope you're able to use meds that will help give you relief from the PH and COPD.

Yes, life and we are fragile. Living it to the fullest is certainly subjective. Making it through a day can be a huge accomplishment for some...

Hugs,
