I get to find out if I have ulcerative colitis or Crohns in a few days. This gives me hope that even if I have one of them, I won't have to take meds for the rest of my life, or worse, have parts of me removed.
They would be able to develop this for both diseases, it was discussed on the UC subreddit... but it's still a whole ago.
My wife has UC, the meds aren't so bad for her 🙂 you got this!
Best of luck to you. My wife has had ulcerative colitis for 8 years now.
I have UC, gone through some tough (shitty 😏) times, but now in remission for 2 years with Vedolizumab (Entyvio). Keep pushing for new meds if the current one doesn’t work properly!
There is a Crohn's and colitis community on Lemmy, fyi. Not very active yet but I found the support and advice on the subreddit version great.
