Care should always be shared care. I know my body and I need expert help and advice to navigate what I may need to help me move into remission. I need to be listened too and not dismissed.

With better medication this needs to be the cornerstone of treatment. I support all your efforts in this area

Thank you for this. I have microscopic collagenous colitis and have been more or less housebound for the past year and a half. I failed Entyvio but seem to be responding to Mesalamine (Salofalk) these past ten days, which is welcome respite from 30 to 40 bathroom visits per day while on Entyvio. I visit online forums on Facebook, and count myself lucky to live in Switzerland and have excellent access to doctors, colonoscopies, and medication. These diseases are hell to live with.
