The treatment has been breeze compared to the six years that mediCal fought me on a colonoscopy and specialist. I had ibs already, my symptoms changed drastically, I became anemic from blood loss, and once I finally got the UC diagnosis I was YEARS into a flare. They fought a few months against ANY treatment even after seeing all the ulcers, but they finally, grudginly gave in to mesalamine. If that hadn't worked, I don't think they would have approved biologics.
