The Younger Patient: Dealing with Ulcerative Colitis

http://paceuc.org/ Younger Ulcerative Colitis patients struggle as they deal with the dramatic change of sudden independence, life adjustment, and the psycho-social implications of being young and having to take regular medication. John is an 18-year-old single man, who is the oldest of three children. He was initially treated with mesalamine at 1.2 grams twice daily, plus corticosteroid enemas. Once the symptoms stabilized, he discontinued the rectal therapy and has had only one major flare up since that time, treated with a short course of steroids. Physicians can best help these younger patients by adhering to the lessons in PACE: Persistence, Adherence, and Compliance Education.
