  1. Thank you for your kind words. I hope that your disease stays in remission, but I think everyone that has this disease should be told of this risk, please pass the word around that even though this risk is rare it is a killer. Marie
  2. Hi , I lost my 40 year old daughter Laura on Sept. 19, 2009. She was my only daughter. She was living in Paris France with her husband and her 4 year old daughter. Laura was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis when she was around 24, she lived with this disease, researched it and I believed she knew everything about the risks. Well she did not know about the rare but almost always fatal risk of Thromboembolism. She had a severe headache and was taken to the hospital with left sided paralysis, she had blood clots in her brain, liver and lungs. I flew to Paris with my son, when we got to France she was in a medically induced coma, she didn't know we were there, it was several days of hoping and praying that she would survive. The doctors were wonderful, but they could not save her life. She died of acute and general thromboembolism. After her death, I researched and found that there are documented cases of death from this with people that have U.C. what I don't understand is why the doctors don't tell patients about this fatal risk. The loss of Laura has changed not only my life but of our whole family's life. She was a very talented beautiful girl. She spoke French fluently and Italian. She has left us her 4 year old daughter, I don't see her much because they live in France ,now with only her father. This sudden tragedy in my life has left me not only sad all the time but depressed. I have a wonderful doctor that has given me Xanax, it helps but I have come to believe that the loss of your child has to be the most pain anyone can have.
