I’m finally admitting I have UC. I was diagnosed in the Spring of 2009, right before finals (that I missed) during my Junior year in college at the University of Montana. After three ER visits, a one week hospitalization, Lialda, Mesalamine rectal suppositories, Entocort, (and some Hyoscyamine, Loperamide, and Loratab to ease the pain), a relapse a week later (2 weeks in the hospital this time), Prednisone, Lialda and 6MP, I am now (pretty much) symptom free. I just graduated from the University of Montana in May of 2010, I’m working as a freelance web designer, and I want to go OFF of Lialda and 6MP and live my life as a normal person. How do I do that? It’d be really nice if I could be drug free and act like I don’t have UC. But, I have UC. sarahegrant.com
