Ulcerative Colitis + Entyvio Update
I’ve partnered with VSL#3 to bring you this post. As always, the opinions expressed are my own. Thank you for supporting CNC! A bunch of you guys have asked how things are going on the Ulcerative Colitis front. I’ve actually debated writing this post for several weeks now because pretty much every time I write an update, things fall apart. (I even hesitate to tell friends and family when they ask!) I feel like I always jinx myself when I share good news, but *hopefully* it’s not the case this time. Ok, so a quick recap for those of you who are new to my journey with Ulcerative Colitis : June 2011 : First diagnosed with UC after a bad flare. Get better. Stop taking meds. February 2012 : Second flare. Get better. Stop taking meds. (Clearly, I don’t learn.) July 2012 : Third flare. Stay on meds this time, but I become steroid-dependent. Go on and off steroids to control flare symptoms for the next 14 months. During this time, I try all sorts of things to fix myself with no luck.
