Background

My name is Aubrey, I am 25 years old and I live with ULCERATIVE COLITIS.

I noticed symptoms around December 2014 which included
-Extreme weight loss without trying
-Bloody stools
-Lose stools
-Loss of appetite
-severe anemia
-Going to the bathroom more than 20 times a day
-Severe stomach pain which landed me in the ER twice

I decided to finally make an appointment with my primary care doctor who refereed me to a Gastroenterologist. I met with my GI doctor for the first time in June of 2015 and he immediately wanted to do an emergent colonoscopy. 3 days later my GI doctor told me I had mild ulcerative colitis.
Please follow my journey living with UC I am so new to this and when I was diagnosed I looked all over the internet for support. I hope to at least help one person who is living with UC and give comfort to let them know they are not alone. Because I felt very alone when diagnosed and searched for help.
