[QUOTE="Jamrox, post: 1056796, member: 77271"] Robin redbreast I'm type 2 and I'm one of the lucky ones because I found the DCUK forum very early after diagnosis and it helps keep me on track . Ulcerative Collitis if bad has to be one of the most debilitating conditions ever and sadly people have no idea how bad it gets . My daughter had flare ups from 12 years old and almost died a couple of times because of a toxic mega colon. She had a large bowel removed , ileostomy formed and last February at 21 years old had a J loop formed so the bags away . She was turned down for benefits at young age and we stupidly didn't appeal . She's great now and has recently got a job [emoji3]. I agree with you about the discrimination . She stopped mentioning it to prospective employers . She volunteered for 18 months in a charity shop , even on days when she wasn't well . I am so proud of her . Good luck hope the UC is under control. [/QUOTE]
