NEWS: Naruto's Sakura Voice Actress Chie Nakamura Goes on Hiatus Due to Ulcerative Colitis

Oh damn. As someone who also lives with UC, she has all my sympathies, also all my respect for being open about having it (at least I assume the agency asked for her permission to disclose her condition). I had no such courage back when I was a young woman living with this crap. All the best to her, I hope her condition improves and she achieves remission soon.

You as well? I was diagnosed in 2020 when I was 36. I had two flare ups that year and both times was on prednisone to get over it. Two years later and I've had no flare ups but I'm also not on any treatments nor have I had any check ups. Occasionally I have some bleeding and inflammation but it stops after a few days. I still do 12 hour shifts in the hospital I'm a PCA at and live a normal life. Back in the Summer I even turned my car into the Mizucara for $5500.

Oh hey, comrade. I was diagnosed waaayyy back, over 15 years ago, when I was in my early 20s - it was pretty terrible at the time, and for many years later, despite being on steroids and all, my life was already very stressful and this illness didn't help at all. Fortunately it's gotten much better since then (I feel really lucky, considering this is usually not what happens with UC...) I'm on mesalazine which I take regularly, in my case it definitely helps keeping my UC in check, my remissions are relatively long and although I still get flares they're manageable and mostly painless. Also, recently I entered the age where it's recommended to do yearly checkups due to the cancer risk, so that's a lot of fun, yeah.

Nice itasha!
