Asacol 800mg 3x Daily- trapped in a flare!

ABOUT ME:

Colitis has really changed my life. I was diagnosed right after having our daughter, Hazel. I worry I will never be able to have another child due to just how bad my flare was while pregnant. I didn't really have any symptoms before pregnancy and about 4 months into they started. Everyday is new I cherish my time out of the bathroom spent with my daughter,husband & family & friends. I knit, collage,sew and run my own handmade company from home. When I feel good- I feel great, but when I am in a flare- it gets pretty pretty preetty gloomy. I just want to find a way to control this and enjoy all of my life again.
