Bosses and UC

It's very difficult, specially in India, to convince our Bosses and colleagues about the complications and difficulties associated with UC. Spreading awareness seems to be the answer.

Depression and UC

Depression and UC go hand in hand. Depression can precipitate the disease and lead to relapse. The other way is also true. Repeated relapse can result in depression. The Best and only way that I have experienced to face this tricky situation is to keep oneself well informed and sustain through the Power of Mind. Positive thoughts do help in an early and speedy recovery.

Side Effects

Off late I havebeen suffering from blisters in my nose. Most, likely a side effect of Sazo or Colorex. I am trying to get it cured with the help of my local Doctor who has advised certain additional medicines. Hopefuly, my nose will be back to normal soon.

Mental Stress and UC

Based on my experience I can say with 100% certainty that adverse Mental Conditions, like, stress, depression, anxiety, etc. are sure to precipitate the UC attack. Real problem lies on the official front where it is very difficult to make people understand this phenomenon and despite the best efforts on part of the UC soldier, he is subjected to Mental stress, many a times resulting in flared -up state of UC. One of the reasons is very low level of awareness about UC in India. Also the nomenclature UC is itself misleading in the sense that it fails to capture the exact nature of the disease.


All said and done one has to find a way out on his own, specially in the official circles. Yes, the support of family is very critical in the entire existence process. Increased awareness can help improve the situation. Hope is the best way to survive.
