    • About Me

      I was diagnosised with UC since 1996 but think I had it since 1991. I think because I was only 21 and it had just started, they couldn't say it was UC but in 96' it got bad enough that they then decided that was what I had. I sometimes think that if they treated me when I was 21 and it just started, I wouldn't be where I am today with how severe it is. I am honest and upfront and been told that I'm pretty straight forward and blunt at times. I am a Libra and I'm very caring and affectionate, loving and love to spoil the one I'm with (too a point haha). I'm a good listener and I make friends easily. Don't have many "true" friends. I find it hard to have a social life with UC because others don't understand and think I'm blowing them off all the time so they stop talking to me. That's hard on me and puts me into a depression and makes me wonder what's wrong with me. When I get depressed, I don't feel like doing anything and the depression just makes my UC worse so I feel like I'm going in circles most of the time. When I do go out, I go out dancing because I love to dance, but I go out alone and that's not much fun either, but usually always find someone to talk to and hang out with while I'm out so it's not always a bad ending to a night (even though I always go home alone). I joined this site in hopes that I can finally meet people who have the same conditions I do and who understands what I'm going through and tell me their stories on how they have a personal life and social life while going through this. I see people who are married and have children while having UC and depression and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong that I'm still single with no kids. Am I looking at this the wrong way? I'm looking to work in the field I went to school for. The Forensic Field, but only have my associates so it's not that easy. Work is pretty hard to find lately. I should move to another state and try but I don't care much for the city life and would like to live in the country but wouldn't mind working in the city since that's where the job field would be at.

    • Interests

      I enjoy the outdoors and spending time with my family. I collect indian things and unicorns. My nickname is crazyhorse because I love everything Indian and western looking. I also have been told that I look like I have Indian in me. I like dancing and listening to music (anything but rap). I enjoy going to the beach(even though I can't swim too good) and I love the mountains. Grew up in the mountains and it was great.. I like romantic dinners, once and awhile, going to the movies, and sometimes just cuddling on the couch at home with someone who loves me and watching anything on tv. I LOVE sports and love watching them on tv and would love to see more in person if I had someone special to go see them with. I use to hunt but haven't lately (cost getting too high) I like to fish and just be in the woods..

      You can be assured I will pray for you. It seems like God is beginning to reclaim you.

      Ro:8:27: And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

    • Close Crohn's Disease & Ulcerative Colitis

      My name is Karen and I'm 38 yrs. old. I was diagnosed with uc in 1996. I actually starting having symptoms in 1991 but guess cuz I was only 21, they didn't think I had uc so I lived 5 years with not knowing what was wrong with me or how to deal with it. I had a colonoscopy Weds. May 20,2009 and was told my colitis spread throughout my colon. It's been really hard to deal with and my personal life is pretty much non existing right now. Don't really have anyone but mom to talk to. Rough for me.

      Treatments

      Asacol Somewhat Helpful
      started out taking asacol but wasn't really doing too well for me. Got tired of taking 6 pills a day as well. Was switched to Lialda and love it.
      Lialda Working / Worked
      I am currently on this medicine. It is working for me right now and I like that I only take 3 pills in the morning and don't have to try to remember to take more during the day while I'm out or working.
      Prednisone Working / Worked
      Doctor just put me on this due to my condition spreading and I have been on it for about a week now and although it's working for me, I don't like taking it. It makes me feel bloated and I shake inside all the time and feel hyper. I can't sleep while on this either.
      Remicade Considering
      I have been considering this, but not sure about the side effects. Guess it scares me right now but if nothing else works, I'd like to try this before surgery. If anyone is doing this method, I would appreciate any information on this to help me decide. Thanks
    • Close Depression

      Guess my depression started in high school. Where I grew up, we had one school that had all classes from kindergarden to 12th grade. Now it wasn't a one room school, but it was just one school. The kids always isolated me and it was really tough. Then after being through some abusive relationships, 2 divorces, and being diagnosed with UC since 1996, its been hard for me to think positive. Seems like when I try to, something else bad goes wrong and puts me back into the same mood.

      Treatments

      Paxil Not Working
      Tried this in high school but didn't work and all I ended up doing was trying to overdose on it so they took it away from me.
      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      Trying to keep a positive attitude and taking every day one step at a time. learning more about GOD and have been reading positive books. This is helping me more then pills.
      Zoloft Somewhat Helpful
      Took this after my second divorce but I didn't feel it was working so I stopped taking it.
