I had UC long before I ever experienced symptoms of AS. Many on here seem to have colitis, but I'm not sure how many of those are UC. I had a flare of that when I was 16 and a final flare at 21 and surgery. I think this disease migrated to other parts of my body and decided to attack those.

Kind Regards,
Jay

Almost all of us long for peace and freedom; but very few of us have much enthusiasm for the thoughts, feelings, and actions that make for peace and freedom. - Aldous Huxley

Was the government to prescribe to us our medicine and diet, our bodies would be in such keeping as our souls are now. - Thomas Jefferson
