It's odd that UC is still classified as a rare disease. It's so well-known.

Is this the same as Crohn's disease? Did Crohn get relabeled too like Wegener?

UC is similar to Chrons but not the same.

So I will be giving by "My Journey" presentation Saturday, May 5th at 5 PM. Location: A16 in West Los Angeles. It would be great to meet some of you if can attend.
