No problems today. My ulcerative colitis is completely silent.
Come to think of it, it’s been three years since the onset and one year in 10 days since the remission.
It seems like a long time or a short time. Well, since I’ve been in remission, I hardly think about my illness except when I update my blog, so it seems like a very short time.
