ELIF Yes I agree with you. I often tell myself that I should have been more active knowing my disease. I was never sick always very healthy and when I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis I trusted the gastro on Long Island. I should have been more active knowing what this disease can do your body. It is what it is. I can't go back. I have very good Doctors at Mt Sinai. They actually saved my life. I really didn't know how sick I was. I learned that you have to listen to your body, don't take anything for granted.
