I'm lauren. I was diagnosed with UC when I was 4 years old and I'm 8 now. I was having bloody stools and was vomiting so I went to the hospital and needed a blood transfusion. They finally found out what was wrong and now I take remacade every 4 weeks and then it started geting pushed out longer and longer and I got to 7 weeks. Then my symptoms came back and I had a flare up and was in the hospital for 2 weeks and got out for a week and then was back in for another week. Now I'm on steroids and alot of medicine that makes me dizzy. I miss alot of school. I'm getting better.
