New Here. But Not New to UC

Why do you hope that?
No I don't.
I see them for a colonoscopy and such like.
Or if I have a specific problem, I will see a medical doctor about it, and get it diagnosed.
But I don't have one monitoring my every step, or approving my every decision. And I usually don't tell them what I am doing, or seek their permission to do it.
Doctor said as long as I am improving and feeling good, then keep doing what I am doing - so I am.
Last time I made the mistake of following the doctors advice, he gave me medication that directly caused a five month UC flare.
As a result, nowadays I don't take medication unless I absolutely have no choice in the matter.
I regularly see a naturopath and a herbalist though. They are both highly trained, qualified and experienced individuals who are helping me enormously.
Hopefully I can continue to post here. I don't want medical support. But nice to have emotional support.
Thanks
