CONVERSATIONS

The UC Podcast

Real patients.
Real challenges.

Join podcast co-hosts Katie and Doug for a series of refreshingly unconventional conversations with other UC patients about the treatment challenges that many of us face. Ethan wants to achieve lasting remission and shares his plans for getting there, Sarah tells us why she no longer accepts inadequate symptom control, and Julianne talks about opening up to her gastroenterologist.

Talk to your doctor about the benefits and risks of treatment with RINVOQ. RINVOQ may cause serious side effects. Learn more about the Most Important Risk Information associated with RINVOQ.

Ethan: How do I know if I’m actually getting better?

Now that Ethan has symptom relief* with RINVOQ, he is focused on the future. He talks about making visible colon lining repair a long-term treatment goal to help him get and stay in remission without steroids, even at 1 year. 

 

*Based on the frequency of bowel movements and the amount of bloody stools.

Areas that were visually assessed may not represent repair of the entire colon lining.

Sarah: When did I know that enough is enough?

Sarah used to accept living with inadequately controlled UC. Today, that’s all changed. She shares her old and new ways of thinking about treatment and how her husband, Sam, supported her along the way. Sam offers tips for caregivers of loved ones with UC.

 

Julianne: When was it time for me to change my treatment?

Deciding to change treatments is never easy, but neither is living with UC symptoms. Julianne opens up about what held her back from discussing symptoms with her gastroenterologist, if treatment was controlling her UC, and when it was time for her to change treatments.
