I am working on a profile piece for Everyday Health that will share a personal point-of-view of life with UC. I'm looking for someone who is willing to talk about their diagnosis, symptoms, and personal self-care tips for managing pain and symptoms. The article will also include comments from a gastroenterologist and information from current research. Please contact me if you are interested in sharing your story.

    HI would be willing to talk about this 'ghastly' condition having suffered now for almost 5 years! I don't know how much I can help, although I have a GP and a hospital Consultant on my case, I tend to look after my condition myself as no one seems to know what to do about me!

    I'd too be happy to talk about it. Diagnosed in 2010, with an emergency op 10 days later to remove my entire colon. 

    Now recovering after my 3rd op for a permanent ilesostomy to get rid of the condition once and for all.

    Suffered with UC then proctitis so been through the mill with it....
