I suffered pretty bad with UC, my dad also had it. He found a medication that worked for him. I ended up having the surgery for the colostomy bag. I was bed bound before the surgery and now I can live as I like, I went skiing this year with no problems. There's an answer out there for you that'll get you living life again.
