Hi everyone!
I am so glad to have found this fourms, my UC is lately driving me nuts :ybatty:
I was diagnosed in 2009, and since then have been having flare ups on and off, and some heavenly time of remission. I was in the States for a couple of years, and everything seemed to be fine.
Now I am back in Rome, Italy, and I have been having a flare up since May. I am on meds (Salazyopirin, Colifoam and Topster, and cortisone) but honestly I would like suggestions on more natural remedies because I can't stand being on cortisone anymore -.-*
I would like to know if any of you found excercise or a specific sport to improve your condition? I walk a lot (1.5/2 hours per day), but I am having issues being outside (on buses and PT) especially in the mornings.
I also am into theatre, and various performances, and am getting anxious that my UC will give me issues when I'm on stage - I am seriously freaking out.
My doctor keeps on telling me that I have to put aside my illness from all the other stuff in my life, otherwise I stress too much, but I don't see how I can really follow that advice, when I'm afraid of not having a restroom around. :confused2:
Thanks in advance for all your help, and sorry for the long post!
