Recently Diagnosed with UC

9 days ago I found myself on the toilet and nothing but blood came out.

I went to the emergency room and they admitted me. I was in for 4 days, had a colonoscopy and was told I have UC. My BP was 80/50 for the longest time. They finally sent me home with a prescription of Azulfadine. I just returned to work today and so far I guess it’s been okay, other than the fact that I have not had a solid bowel movement since I had this episode. Does it ever return to normal?

I’m a 40 yr old F, no children, I had IBS for years (I think it runs in my family – my father, brother and neice have it) now I guess I’ve moved up to UC.
