Be proactive with your health
March 4, 2009Living with colitis is a major health issue. It’s not like one-time health problems where you go into the hospital, get fixed up, leave, and never return, like having a broken arm or getting a flu shot. No, colitis is something you live with your entire life and the conditions of your colitis can fluctuate greatly from remission to flare up and back again.
Because you are the one that has to live with your colitis, you are the one who has to take care of yourself. The doctors and nurses will help you, but only when you ask for help. Ultimately, you are the one who makes the decisions about your treatment. Nobody else can manage your colitis for you.
Keep fighting,
