The past few months have been both very exciting and very busy. I have finished my triathlon season, travelled with my family to Taiwan, participated in two CCFA Guts and Glory walks (NE and Westchester chapters), and have been traveling a ton for work and faculty interviews (I have already been given a few offers!). I even went to Austria for a week to learn new surgical techniques.
It has been very important for me to stay in control of my UC during these critical moments in my life/career. Often the circumstances were less than ideal, poor eating schedules, little sleep, high stress, little time for daily breaks, no restrooms in close proximity. However I have been fortunate to progress through this period without any disruption from my UC. Usually there are a number of things that I do to ensure that I stay flare free, but many of these were impossible given the setting. However, I was able to stay flare free by doing two critical things regardless of circumstances: take my medicine as prescribed and stay away from foods that I knew from experience to avoid.
I will begin to be more active on this site again to share some of these experiences and current thoughts.
