This week we talked to Tommy Hazelton! Tommy was diagnosed with UC back in the late 1990’s and went through a period where his disease was not well controlled. He was working as a musician and a performer and we talked about how he was able to be up on stage while symptomatic. We talked about the unusual and intriguing things he credits as helping him into remission and to maintaining symptom remission. We discussed his involvement in a support group and in volunteering as a counselor at Camp Oasis. We also talked about his friendship with another one of our guests -Stacey Calabro! Tommy was funny, introspective, unique, and we had a lot of fun and laughs in this episode.
