Braj in the middle of a pose
Intro:
I’m Braj from India working as a Software professional.I’m currently under remission , But I’m happy to share my struggle with UC. I was diagnosed UC in oct 2011, but I had this disease around 12 years without having blood in my stool. Maybe the Indianised way of living helps to control this disease.
