About Me
I am 25 years old, freshly married in March of 2008! I do suffer from Ulcerative Colitis and struggle to stay healthy. I am doing better than I was a few months ago! I try not to let this disease define who I am. I love being with my husband, and dog! I have a lot of family around to love on and spend time with. I joined this site to find friends and help understand how other feel when they are in a flare. I do have days where life feels empty, its good to come on here and receive encouragment from others!

Sorry! I got disconnected. I live in the sticks, and we are on the edge of a hurricane right now. Guess the internet isn't holding up. :( Hope to catch you online some other time!

i hope youre feeling better. what are they doing for you?
Thanks
Thanks for the birthday wishes! Things are still going pretty well for me over here. I've been off of the pred for a while now--my face has gone down completely and I am gradually losing the weight--I'm down about 8 lbs. I'm hoping the weight just keeping falling off! I am feel well though! The Remicade is still doing its job. I am still afraid that it will stop working suddenly--but the past makes me paranoid I suppose. How are things with you?

Support Groups
Close Crohn's Disease & Ulcerative Colitis
I have been suffering from Ulcerative Colitis for about 6 years, wow saying that makes me think. I have had a lot of ups and downs, still trying to find that right drug to keep me in remission!
Treatments
- Asacol Not Working
- In the past I took6 pills a day and it worked somewhat to slow down flares but never helped 100%
- Azulfidine Not Working
- I took this medicine for about 4 months and never really felt a change, outbreak after outbreak. It works for some just not for me.
- Lomotil Working / Worked
- It works but it makes my stomach cramp pretty bad, but it does stop the constant trips to the bathroom
- Prednisone Somewhat Helpful
- I take it every once in awhile when I am having a major outbreak. It seems to help me get over the bump in the road but after a week of being off of it, I start to feel sick again.
- Elavil Working / Worked
- I take 25 mg at night helps with anxiety and also my colitis hasnt had one flare since I have been on it! So I can eat salads and stuff with no problem now!!!
Close GERD & Heartburn
Treatments
- Antacids Working / Worked
- I use when I need it and It helps. Maalox that is
- Citrucel Working / Worked
- I use the powder kind sugar free. Taste good also!!
- Raising Bed Position Working / Worked
Open Eating Disorders
Type: AnorexiaIn my younger age I was Anorexic, and because of that I think that is why I have colitis. It is hard to overcome and its a one day at a time thing.
Open Miscarriage
My husband and I found out we were pregnant, and about 6 weeks along I miscarried. So now its hard to see myself having another try. So hard to deal with!
