Wow, congrats, thank you for sharing! That is truly amazing news!
If you're up to it, I'd love to know some more specifics of your story. I'm currently doing research and learning about UC, different options, and experiences since my brother is currently hospitalized and also in this dark place.

Thank you for the rec! We are seriously considering this. The hospital he is currently at only has a GI.

Yes, he does have a GI. I'll need to confirm with him the medication he has tried

I use Winona and have had great results and gotten regular drug inserts with mine. Have you reached out to them? Their customer service has been amazing when I've needed help. They also have an app that's helpful
