Do you think this has to be one of the most embarrassing diseases

I have had this since I was 23, and it is so humiliating, whether it's a rush to the loo where you 8/10 times don't make it. Constant oscopys, mainly when your awake. What are your feelings with this disease

    Asacol didn't improve my disease symptoms. They were getting worse and my doctor insisted I try it for 30 days as he said it takes time to work. So after 1 month I made an appointment and when I saw him I told him enough playing around with my health. I am a busy professional that doesn't have time to experiment with medication, so I demanded he gine me Prednisone as I knew that my body tollerates it well. He did and in 5 days I felt human again. I was so angry with him for telling me to wait. After two weeks I figured it wasn't working.
