      thanks for your nice note. i have been very fortunate to be this healthy and i feel so bad for all those who are still suffering with this horrible disease. i have been helping our local CCF to raise money for continued research for a cure. i sure didn't want to know this much about uc at my age, but you have to be informed because not all drs. are at the top of their game when it comes to managing this.

      Sulfazine! Crazy. That is definitely old school for sure. That was the first drug I was on 23 years ago when it was THE only drug. I'm very happy it's working for you. Remember to drink plenty of water and watch yourself out in the sun. Enjoy.
