When I started this testimony, my only intention was to share experience with people with this diagnosis or family close to them, to get a better feeling in the body and mind of those who face ulcerative colitis .
For me, writing this testimony, was a very healing process because I understand better, with another glance, the efforts of everyone involved in the event I had for me, as the center of the situation.
In this process, I reacquainted again with joy, grief, landscapes, scents, encounters that appeared in this live many years with a disease that, far from healing, stages evolved towards more difficult to control.
The reissue all this life experience gave me the opportunity to open and close cycles, separating what matters from what is simply superficial ...
In a medical journal extracted the following quote that I share with you: "there is no purely mental condition, a purely physical, is an episode that occurs in a living organism that is alive by virtue of the fact that in that body the psychic and the somatic are inextricably linked "
It would appear that the characteristics of be chronic disease, lead to stressful conditions that would come to explain the psychological disturbances that often we live.
While we are experiencing a flare and we added additional stress related to a problem or overworked this outbreak is greatly increased.
As this is a chronic disease the best way to tackle it is to hear that is, then accept it and learn to live with it, understand that our life projects can be carried out best if handled well cluster periods.
As a suggestion, I consider it important to practice a technique for "stress management" and be guided by a therapist or self-administered and participate in support groups.
I need for a physician to be locatable and available to respond to emergencies in order to manage outbreaks properly, quickly and effectively, without going through the emergency departments of a hospital where are not always physicians experienced in inflammatory bowel disease. One
my physicians told me that it is proper to man to seek new alternatives and treatment options in alternative medicine. Suggest not only traditional treatment abruptly stop and where possible they are supplementary.
I am aware that without the support of my family, chain prayers of friends, acquaintances, and people of good will and the presence of a team of physicians, who practiced all his knowledge, not been possible give this witness, which I hope to contribute to a better understanding of what happens to a patient suffering from this difficult evil.
