We all have days, or in my case, weeks where you feel like you wish it would all be over. Somehow we find a way to keep going. Once you find your way, stick to it. Try to remember that you aren't...
I only had my first infusion two weeks ago. And I'm going for my second one in a few hours. Even though most people aren't even supposed to feel the effects from the first infusion, just one infusion...
Hi William. I read your post and and I am in a remarkably similar situation to yourself. Only I am two years behind in school now due to UC. Other than that, we're both 21 year old college/university...
We can have a special name for it. An 'afflaire'. Anyone else like the sound of that?...
Most of the time I am not in pain. The pain comes a few times a day when I need to go. However when I have urgency or when I go to the washroom during a flare, the pain is exquisite....
Congratulations. As a student myself it's hard to even imagine myself in your situation years from now. Having actually graduated. Your story is inspirational and shows that people can do it despite...

I have UC. How do you find the probiotics are helping or not helping?...

Diet I have tried. Although I haven't followed a specific anti-UC diet, at this point I'm fairly confident that at least in my case diet has little/no effect on a flare up or remission. I'm not sure...
Well, those of you who remember me, I am still alive. I've managed not to die either by my symptoms or myself. So I guess that's good. The last weeks have been up and down. For a while it seemed as...
Hi. I'm new here. I'm just posting here wondering how it is that so many of you are able to stay optimistic during difficult times. Whenever I look at the future I find myself face to face with...
