Unmet needs of ulcertive colitis patients to be a better caregiver/support system

Posted , 2 users are following.

I want to be a better friend to my friend who was newly diagnosed with UC.  What are some of the unmet needs that UC patients experience.  What is needed by patients and what are the biggest struggles everyday.  How can I help improve the life of my friend.  How do you navigate the medication decision.

    Patience and compassion. Know that traveling can be stressful and inconvenient. Map out restrooms along your route, know where they are when you go out, and if they cancel last minute, don't take it personally. Hope that helps!
