This is my story, and my life as i know it at the moment. I have had Ulcerative Colitis since I was 21 years old I will be 40 in February.
I have had flare ups 2 years on 2 years off, my entire life it would seem. I am now at the worst I have ever been the medications and the day’s out of work have increased over the past 3 months or so. I was recommended to have surgery and to take about 20 pills a day for now including hydrocortisone and rowasa, prednisone, 6mp. asacol, flaygal, I have a 3 year old son that sits beside me asking if we can go out and play, and I feel useless because of fatigue. I will most likley get the surgery vs going on bathroom trips every 4 hrs or so.
If anyone knows of any alternatives please let me know? i don’t think there are any new procedures that I may not of heard about.
My Medications: 6 MP SHORT TERM. CANASA for lower colon inflammation. asacol for maintenance therapy.
Thank You, Larry.

All of the posts from “Annonymous UC” are from ulcerative colitis people who anonymously submitted stories or Doctor Reviews, medication, supplement reviews etc… I post all these stories to the site, but they’re different from my own personal stories so hopefully this account makes more sense:) -Adam – founder of iHaveUC.com
