Hi everyone. I’m 28 years old and I’ve had CU since last 11 years. Surely there are good days and some really bad days that I wouldn’t even wish upon the worst enemy. Lately I get the feeling that CU is...
I have had this disease on and off for 20 years. I would be good for about a year, have a flare up, get on a 17 day prednisone kick and they would be gone again. In the beginning we did...
