Is this over now? music video by Jordan Sweeney “This song was fun writing haha. I wrote it in September 2006. At this time I was obviously still flaring up. I was having a hard time explaining my symptoms with my family and friends. To others when they read about UC or Crohn’s on the internet, it talks a lot about Diarrhea and having to go the restroom a lot. But that’s not it at all. Yes you have to go all the time, but it burns! That’s what I was trying to get to in this song. It feels …
you have a nice voice! I sing too by the way…I have uc and im going through hell with mine right now, still trying to find something where the side effects arent worse then the disease itself…well anyways good luck to you and hope you feel better!
thanks so much…
flare ups suck. we understand. you do good work.
i got the surgery as well…been 3 weeks and i feel great! thanks youtubers who convinced me worry free
I’m sorry if it came across as if I was bragging. I meant to say there’s hope: not everybody ends up needing surgery (and I’m not the only one who’s been able to live symptom-free w/o drugs or surgery). If you want to know more, you can either drop me a private mail through YT or check out my videos. But since you already had the surgery, I’m guessing you’re okay now w/o problems. I have to admit, I guess it irks me that people think, “surgery or drugs”. I (and others) are proof otherwise.
There are plenty of young people out there with this disease including me i got the operation when i was 19 theres a few facebook pages you should check out jus search for ulcerative colitis on facebook.
The quality of life is much better mate it took me 2 years of trying every med they had and nothing worked. I then got the operation and 2 months later i was 100% healthy go for it u wont regret it
Thats all well and good for youbut theres no need to brag!! Some people dont need surgery untill years later so your not out of the woods yet.
i know what u mean…..after the 8th time on my Remicade i had an alergic reaction (anefelectic shock)…. or however u spell that… and it was horrible. so i am not doing that again and no other meds work. i spent all last summer experimenting with all kinds of drugs and our last resort was remicade. it was seriously a miracle! i had sooo much energy and it felt like i was UC free…..so i decided to start running again and what do u know…i get a flareup and now i don’t know what to do!!
From a fellow musician… Not to want to kill your musical muse, but, erm… I was able to conquer UC without surgery and (after a year) no drugs! Check out my first video (more to come) and join in the conversation.
PS: The song is pretty catchy, regardless of lyrics (I’m often more musical than lyrical in attention). Two comments: watch those vocal edits, and I’d rather hear your voice with a little less auto-tune, even if you feel the take isn’t perfect.
looks like my medicine cabinet lol
living with UC sucks..seriously thinkin about surgery after 4 years of steroids + remicade (not working anymore) im done with meds!
Excellent video, song, lyrics, music. You rock! Hope there IS healing in your future.
thanks and good luck!
I’m 15 with UC and i get what your saying i just want it to be over…..YOur song is great…good luck with everything.
LOVED IT!!!! GREAT VIDEO! Thanks so much!!! I feel like no one really understands and it is so nice to have all off you and I needed that today~ flaring, unbearable pain/ desending belly woke me on and off through the night and today I feel like someone has beaten the sh@# out of my intestines not to mention the cutting FIRE~ hey, is there anything to sooth this pain? I am on pentasa and encort but out of the encort stuff for a while and I lost 20+ lbs
This disease it horrible. i hope you start to feel better… I appreciate your kind words, and i’m glad to hear that i brightened up your day.
i’m the same way… its works great. but dosnt eliminate the colitis
hey there
i was diagnosed with UC about 5 years ago. i’m 17 now, and i have an astomy bad at the moment.. i’ve had my first surgery already. and i’m going on my second here in a while. i just have to lose about 30 more lbs, and i’ll be good to go.. i really like your video, it really made me feel like there are other people out there who have been through what i’ve gone through so far. and i really am glad that you and other people out there make movies to help other people. take care
how long have you been on remicade? how does it work for you? me, it’s been about 6 months and it helps a lot, but doesn’t take all the symptoms away for sure.
Hey millwa1985
I feel for you. Do a ton of research. Go to the library, read tons of books, use the internet and talk to tons of people with and without UC. I’ve been dealing with UC since 2001 and tried things like meditation and a change in diet that seemed to work for me, but not for others.
Fight it like the Devil!
Never give up.
when i juice i flare
There’s light at the end of our tunnel. I’ve been able to control UC with Asacol and a really good diet. After I graduate, and get my own place, I’m gonna get a real decent juicer and improve my diet even more. No more Asacol after that. I wish you all a solid night of sleep.
i still have mine, had UC for 4 years, i give it some time though before i get rid of mine… I am currently on Remicade and Imuran oh and asacol
Hey I have UC, have had it for 1.5 years now, been hospitialised twice, so far 2/3 of my bowel was infected, now just 7cm, just a question for people that have had their colon removed, do you end up with a bag or just like a fake parts replacing your colon? because i know about 40% of ppl who suffer from UC have to eventually have part of their bowel or colon removed. different doctors have told me different things, thought i would ask people who have gone through it
i had ulcerative colitis for about 1.5 years before i realized my colon had to be removed. the remicade didn’t work, but now about 1 year after the colectomy i feel much better and am so happy it is all over.
