I'm 18 and have had UC for about 2/3 years, I went undiagnosed because I didn't think anything of the cramps, but as they continued for about 6 months I decided to finally tell my parents and get a check up. After a multitude of tests the doctors found that I have moderate-to-severe UC. I was finally put on prednisone which seemed to calm the symptoms but brought up acne. This was hard to go through in school as no one really knows what's wrong and they think that the spots are because of bad diet and uncleanliness! I have mezovant to take on a daily basis but normally forget and so haven't used it in about 4 months.
That's a summarized story of my UC. I want to find answers though, I also seem to have terrible heartburn and it came about the same time as the UC however I can't pinpoint it to anything! Diet doesn't seem to be a cause, it has been very painful and sometimes worse than the cramps, I wondered if there is a link there?
And I also want to know why when I get a horrible cramp I salivate excessively? And after swallowing it for about 15 minutes I begin to feel a little nauseous. I just wondered if excessive salivating was another symptom of UC because I was never told of it.
