This week we really enjoyed hearing Will Awve's story! We talked about his diagnosis with UC in college and how that affected his college experience. We discussed him trying basically all medication options to try to control his UC, his bouts with C. Diff, and then his eventual decision to go through J-Pouch surgery. We also had a chance to talk about how your mental health and how you mentally position your disease affects your attitude and resilience. And finally we talk about how UC can create some interesting, uncomfortable, and possibly even dangerous situations when out in the wilderness.
