I knew I would get some great insight from you guys, but now I do feel more discouraged and I feel sad that such a large group of people spend their lives suffering like this. Sometimes I'm grateful...
I was really sick when I decided to get pregnant. I was only 20, didn't really think about the fact that I had an illness, just figured it would be fine. I was taking Asacol too, and it controlled my...
I hope someone reads this, I know you guys can relate... I'm only 24, and I've had UC since I was 19. After so many doctors and all of the bullshit I became indifferent and decided to go untreated...
I've been up to 15 400mg of Asacols a day but never had any stomach troubles with them like I did with Mesalamine. One pill 3x a day probably won't do anything. One side effect that drives me insane...
I do a lot of modeling, so I have to worry about stuff like this all the time. Usually if I'm worried about a flare I'll bring a Vicodin along, if I start experiencing abdominal pain I'll take the...
Your parents must not be animal people. There's CareCredit...if you qualify they'll pay your vet bills and it's a minimal monthly payment to pay it back. It would definitely cover a euthanasia...but...

After reading a lot of people's posts on here and what they've been going through, I do feel fortunate that things have been pretty easy lately. When I was first diagnosed I had to go through a...
That's okay, I probably should have elaborated better. I've never experienced the pain you're describing, but I'm sorry you had to go through that! I hope you start feeling better too....
I appreciate your input but I'm not addicted. I don't take daily unless I'm having UC symptoms and I stopped taking it with no problems after a year of off and on use while I was pregnant for nine...
First I wanted to say I checked out your Myspace page and you're my hero! I had to sell my horse before my daughter was born, but your life is exactly what I want my life to be. Trail riding, horses,...
Does anybody else experience a UC flare when they get sick? Right now I have bronchitis and whenever I get sick I can always expect UC symptoms on day 2 of being sick. Once I start to feel better,...
