    It’s getting better day by day and I’m going on a biologic which suppresses my immune system so hopefully with the new med I’ll rarely have flares again.

      I’m sure your immune system will react to being suppressed by leveling out and calming down. Not like it was designed by evolution as a threat-adaptive auto-scaling autonomous war machine or anything, so no worries about telling it to go to sleep. I’m glad your doctors are so wise in the ways of science.

      Sorry if that sounded sarcastic I just have very little faith in doctors. Are you at least talking to multiple MDs about your ulcerative colitis? Immune system suppression is truly a nuclear option here. What else have they tried?
