I was 21 and in my final semester of undergrad.
My son was 10, but he had had symptoms for years. He lost his colon at age 13. My mother was 13 when diagnosed with her UC (and lost her colon at 22).
I was 34 years old and applying to graduate school.
I was 19 and in my second year of college. It was a tough transition to explain to my friends my diagnosis and symptoms. I had symptoms for years before but didn't get formally diagnosed until college.
I had just turned 19 when I was diagnosed. I was diagnosed in the final week of summer break before my sophomore year started.
