and when you get to the end, stop.
I took Accutane years ago. It has since been pulled from the market because of dangerous side effects. But not after the company made Billions per year selling it. It has been connected with UC. I think it caused mine, since I have none of the other risk factors. Anyway. I have it and I have to deal with it.
UC is an anutoimmune disease. The autoimmune system overreacts to something and attacks the colon. Most likely an imbalance of bacteria. This attack causes ingflammation, blood, mucus, diarrhea, pain, cramps, urgency, and feeling like you have to go when you really don't (not the the same as constipation). I warned you this would be gross. Other effects are weight loss and fatigue. UC can be mild or severe.
I think I have been lucky so far. I can still got to work, ride my bike, go to the beach. Some people bleed their lives away in the bathroom 20 times a day or more.
