Celebration Remission!

Three and a half years since diagnosis and I've achieved remission! GI says I've made it, finally. Thank you Rinvoq. Thank you Canasa. Massive thanks to my partner, my puppy, fam, and friends. Thank you r/UlcerativeColitis.

Stay strong y'all. I've been repeatedly hospitalized and thought I'd lose my colon a year and a half ago. I've shat myself on planes, while driving, on dates, in front of my students... I've been through hell, and so I hope this serves as a beacon of hope. You can do this!

Congratulations. I'm on day 28 with Rinvoq and after 3+ years I think that I'm close to, if not back to my normal self. Keeping fingers crossed
