Trying to stay on top of all of the newest UC treatment options can be daunting. With studies, research trials, and drug releases frequently happening, it can be overwhelming when you're facing the idea of changing your UC medications.
But if the medication you're currently on isn't working as well as it should, it might be time to talk to your doctor. Read on for helpful questions to ask your doctor to get that conversation started.
What should I expect from my medication?
There's no known nonsurgical cure for UC, and no medication will completely get rid of the condition. But one study concluded that, if given the choice, 86.4 percent of people with UC would rather try a new medication than have surgery to remove their colon.
There are many medications that can help you achieve and maintain remission. Before you talk to your doctor, identify what will make a medication right for you.
Am I concerned about any side effects more than others (e.g., infection or weight gain)?
Am I concerned about the cost of the medication?
Am I worried about any preexisting ailments (e.g., migraines, heart issues, cancer)?
Have I given my current medication a chance to work?
Do I want to get pregnant or breastfeed?
Am I worried about male fertility?
Am I taking any vitamins and supplements that I should mention?
Am I prepared to take a medication or combination of medications long term?
With this information in mind, your doctor will then be in a better position to suggest a medication that is right for you.
When do I know if it's time to switch medication?
It's often hard to know when your medication needs adjusting because there are so many outside factors to consider.
For instance, your medication might be helping you remain in UC remission, but the side effects could be problematic. Or you might've had a long period of remission, decided to stop taking your medications, and now need a new prescription due to a flare-up.
If you begin to have more frequent flare-ups or your UC symptoms are getting worse, it's time to have a chat with your doctor about making a switch.
What are my medication options?
Tofacitinib (Xeljanz). This is a newer option in a class of medications called Janus kinase inhibitors. It works in a unique way to reduce inflammation in people with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis.
Aminosalicylates. These are anti-inflammatory drugs that are used to treat mild to moderate flare-ups of UC. They are seen as the first line of defense for UC.
Immune system suppressors or immunomodulators. These medications are able to reduce inflammation in the body by suppressing the immune system. They are used to treat moderate to severe cases of UC.
Biologics. These medications work to stop enzymes and proteins that develop naturally in your body from causing inflammation. They are used to treat moderate to severe cases of UC.
Corticosteroids. These medications affect the body's natural inflammatory process. They're primarily used for short-term treatment of emergency flare-ups.
What are some tips to help me manage my medication change?
In the beginning weeks of taking your new medication, your doctor might recommend that you create a daily medication log or use a health tracker. This will help you keep track of both benefits and side effects that you're experiencing from the treatment.
Take the medication correctly. This sounds easy, but many people get into the habit of missing medications and taking them at the wrong time.
Don't increase or decrease a dose without talking to your doctor first.
Use the same pharmacy to fill your prescription every time. Developing a rapport with your pharmacist is very important as they might catch patterns you miss.
Don't take anyone else's medications, even in a pinch.
Your doctor is a key mediator between you and your UC. Answering your questions is part of their job.
If you're concerned about making a switch to a different medication, jot down the list of concerns that you're most worried about. You can also join helpful online groups that can be a safe space to discuss medications and their effects. Finally, do your research on UC and gather any questions you may have for your doctor to help prepare you for your next appointment.

Grumman S-2 Tracker (S2F antes de 1962) foi a primeira aeronave produzida para a guerra antissubmarina, construída para entrar em serviço para a Marinha dos Estados Unidos. Projetado e construído inicialmente pela Grumman, o Tracker segue um design convencional com dois motores, uma asa alta e um trem de pouso triciclo. O avião foi exportado para várias marinhas em todo o mundo. Introduzido em 1952, o Tracker ficou em serviço na marinha norte-americana até meados da década de 1970, com algumas aeronaves restantes em serviço com outras armas de ar para o século XXI. Argentina e Brasil foram os últimos países a usarem a aeronave.

Gingko tree, a living fossil, continues to amaze
I first learned about the ginkgo tree the summer after my ninth grade at a horticulture camp at Mississippi State University.
Gingko tree, a living fossil, continues to amaze I first learned about the ginkgo tree the summer after my ninth grade at a horticulture camp at Mississippi State University.

Little evidence supports my illusions of a green thumb in and around my home. Even so, the lack of proof has never slowed my fascination with certain plants — especially orchids, maidenhair ferns, Gerber daisies, California poppies, hydrangeas and ginkgo trees, with the gingko tree being my favorite.
Yes, you read that correctly. When I was 15, of my own volition, I spent a week at a "camp," where we walked for miles and miles to look at specific plants (in July in Mississippi) and then went to botany and plant science classes the rest of the day.
I went to the camp, not out of any special interest at all, but because, in a process I imagined to be as secret and ceremonial as a coronation, the Garden Club ladies from the small town where I grew up selected one high school-aged girl to attend the camp each summer — and that year, they picked me.
With about 30 other kids about as interested in horticulture as I was, we trounced all over campus and in and out of laboratories. We saw rare plant specimens and learned about propagating, hybrids, splicing, canning fruit and winemaking.
On one tour, we stopped in front of a tree. I'm unsure why I remember almost every word the horticulturist said next, but I do.
"This tree is special. It is a living fossil, related to no other living plant. The ginkgo dates back 270 million years. Whatever killed the dinosaurs didn't kill it. The trees originated in Asia, and the female trees produce nuts that are popular in some Asian dishes, but stinky from the tree. The tree's fan-shaped leaves are distinct. It's one of the slowest-growing trees around, and it's almost indestructible. In fact, some ginkgo trees actually survived the atomic blast that hit Hiroshima."
Even though horticulture wasn't my thing, the ginkgo tree was amazing.
A few years after the horticulture camp, I graduated high school and ended up attending Mississippi State as a student. Almost every day, I walked past the beautiful ginkgo tree I had learned about a few years earlier. As I passed it, I could almost hear the horticulturist saying, "This tree is special. It is a living fossil…"
However, when fall found the ginkgo tree and its beautiful leaves turned a shade of gold I had never known, my appreciation for the tree skyrocketed. In those golden days, the ginkgo became my tree. Like Audrey in "Little Shop of Horrors," I dreamed of "Somewhere that's green" and planting my very own ginkgo tree.
As it turns out, buying a gingko tree isn't always easy. Once we moved to Louisiana in 2001, I began my quest for a ginkgo — at nurseries and online. I'm good at such searching, and I was rather relentless.
Even so, I came up empty-handed every time, but I never gave up on my ginkgo.
Nearly four years ago, my husband and I were struggling to decide where to send our daughters to school. I won't go so far as to say it was the ginkgo tree in the circle drive in front of the Academy of the Sacred Heart that made the decision for us, but that tree certainly didn't hurt. Learning that the Sacred Heart ginkgo was the oldest one in Louisiana was lagniappe. On our tour of the campus, I stood in front of the school, focusing on the ginkgo instead of the monumental live oaks.
About a year later, I attended Congé, the school's spring festival. Away from the hubbub of the games and confetti eggs, the school hosts a plant sale. Various people donate plants. I was walking by the plant sale, on my way to get a glass of lemonade and happened to look down.
Much to my amazement and shock, I was looking at three little trees with fan-shaped leaves for sale.
I could barely speak and wondered if I was seeing clearly. I stuttered to the volunteer, who happened to be the Sacred Heart groundskeeper, "These are ginkgo trees?"
"Yes," he said. "They're $6 each."
I could barely form words. "I'll take them," I said.
And I came home and planted my three waist-high gingko trees, remembering all the while that they're one of the slowest-growing trees on earth.
Even though my thumb isn't very green, my ginkgos have survived. Almost every time I pass them, some little ginkgo-related memory sneaks in my head.
This late in the fall, all of the leaves have dropped from one of the trees and only a few remain on another. For some reason, the third tree still has 39 beautiful golden leaves clinging. I know that it's just a matter of time until they fall, too.
But come springtime, they'll be back.

Our Guide to Rye Whiskey for Sipping or Mixing
We explain how rye is made and aged, which will help you understand why this spicy, robust whiskey is worth exploring.

Shortly on the heels of the bourbon boom came the rye renaissance, with demand for rye whiskey growing year over year during the past decade. If you're just beginning to learn about American whiskeys, check out our explainer on the difference between bourbon and rye. If you're interested in better understanding the latter, this is a good place to start.

Is Rye More American Than Apple Pie?
Rye may be trending, but it's far from new. In fact, it's older than the United States itself. Beginning in the 1700s, Irish and Scottish colonists used their whiskey distilling know-how to transform the New World's abundant rye grasses into a powerful potable. By (modern) law, American rye whiskey must be made from at least 51 percent rye grain, with the remainder of the mash bill made up of corn, malted barley, and/or wheat. There are some whiskeys with even higher proportions of rye—all the way up to 100 percent. The higher the rye content, the more peppery and assertive the flavor of the whiskey.
Just like bourbon, all American rye is aged in charred new oak barrels for at least two years, picking up flavor nuances and its amber color from the wood. Some rye distillers, such as Whistle Pig, further age the whiskey in casks that previously contained other elixirs—such as cognac or madeira—adding new dimensions of flavor, aroma, and color to the finished spirit.
How to Enjoy Rye Whiskey
Rye lovers enjoy it neat or on the rocks, just like any other good whiskey. We love rye for cocktails, too, where its pronounced bite comes through loud and clear against the backdrop of other mixers. Some classic rye cocktails include the Vieux Carré, the Sazerac, and the Manhattan. Plus, any cocktail you ordinarily make with bourbon can also be made with rye, which will make the drink a little less sweet and a little more spicy. Try a rye Mint Julep, Boulevardier, or Old Fashioned to add an extra kick to your cocktail hour.
Which Rye to Buy?
Ready to start sipping your way around the world of rye whiskey? We can help guide you. For mixing, like in the Rye-Whiskey Switchels shown above, we like Rittenhouse Rye ($27.99, wine.com). Its rye content is on the lower end of the ratio so it's got a balanced, spicy-but-sweet flavor profile, and its friendly price tag means you don't have to save it for special occasions.
For sipping, consider treating yourself to Redemption 10 Year Barrel Proof Rye ($104, wine.com), a potent powerhouse with a long, mellow finish that contains 95 percent rye balanced out with just five percent malted barley. (Remember that aged spirits take time to age and the current shortage of aged rye whiskeys mean prices are high.) Also check out WhistlePig Distillery's portfolio of notable rye whiskey, including their Old World Cask Finish Rye ($129, wine.com), which is aged 12 years and finished in port, Madeira, and French sauternes barrels.


On Wednesday and Thursday, Oct. 23-24, U.S. Senator Tom Udall will visit communities in Socorro, Catron and Grant counties to discuss STEM education, rural health care and affordable housing. Udall will also tour an area of Catron County that was seriously damaged by floods this summer.
In Socorro on Wednesday, Udall will visit New Mexico Tech, where he will meet with President Dr. Daniel H. Lopez, Vice President for Research Dr. Van Romero and staff and tour a "smart" classroom and the engineering success lab. The lab and classroom use interactive technology to keep students engaged in learning. Udall will discuss his strong support for science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education, which is vital to help New Mexico continue create jobs and grow its high-tech industry. Udall supported a $1.2 million National Science Foundation (NSF) grant, which will triple the number of student transfers from two-year colleges to N.M. Tech and Northern New Mexico College.
Later Wednesday in Catron County, Udall will visit the Catron County Medical Center, operated by Presbyterian Medical Services (PMS), where he will discuss the clinic's work as well as his efforts to support rural health care, including telehealth strategies to improve access.
On Thursday, Udall will meet with Catron County officials to tour flood damage in Glenwood and discuss his ongoing work to request emergency assistance for New Mexico communities. He then will travel to Silver City to tour an affordable housing project, Vistas de Plata, for which he helped secure $584,400 from the Department of Housing and Urban Development as well as a $1 million grant.

Q: show/hide divs on hover I cannot get a div to show/hide upon hovering over another element.  I will eventually apply this to an image map, but i made a simple fiddle for the functionality.  What am I doing wrong?

test a1

http://jsfiddle.net/4p7vLogd/

A: HTML

test a1

timeline 1

jQuery
$(document).ready(function(){
    $('#a1').hover(function () {
        $('#t1').toggleClass("hidden");
    });
});

CSS
.hidden {
    display:none;
}

Make sure to include jQuery. Here's a forked fiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/2eyzce7h/
If you're having issues with your functionality, consider using mouseenter() and mouseleave() instead of .hover().

A: Mohammed's answer will work, but it's usually best practice to not hide something with CSS and depend on jQuery to show it in the off-chance that the user has Java disabled. This should also work:
$(document).ready(function(){

$('#a1').hide();

$('#a1').hover(
    function () {
        $('#t1').show();
    },
    function () {
        $('#t1').hide();
    });

});

Here is a fiddle.

It's been a while since I shared our eco journey. I thought I would come here to share our zero waste bathroom swaps.
These are things we have used for a good while now, and work well for us.
We switched to using Who gives a crap toilet paper last year.
The paper is made from 100% recycled paper, with no inks, dyes or scents. They also donate 50% of their profits to amazing causes. Whilst I have thought about using cloth for the bathroom, I just don't think I could handle it at the moment. If I lived alone it would be no problem, but I just don't want that kind of washing to do.
I have been using Ben and Anna plastic free deodorant for about a year now. It is by far my favourite. It's smells amazing, the smell actually lasts all day. The deodorant is only half way used since last summer, so while £9.95 may seem a lot to begin with, it probably works out much cheaper in the long run. It is packaged in paper too.
This is a very easy switch to make, they are also becoming more widely available on the high street. It is one of the more expensive switches, being more than double the cost of a standard plastic toothbrush. This is a switch that needs to be done though in my opinion. With all the plastic waste in the oceans, toothbrushes are right up there with waste found in our seas.
There are so many zero waste options out there for oral care now. A few things that I really love are the Georganics Oil Pulling Mouthwash and the Mouthwash Tabs. I also use the Georganics dental floss, it comes in a reusable glass jar too.
I must admit my search is still ongoing for a completely plastic free toothpaste that tastes okay and is a cost effective option for a family of four.
When I was little, we never had bottles of body wash at the side of the bath, a simple bar of soap was all that was needed. That's all we use in the bathroom. A bar of soap for body washing and a shampoo bar for hair.
I have found since writing the hair care post, that I do need to condition my hair occasionally with a 'standard' conditioner. I can usually find a good tub, in a glass jar in TK Maxx, that lasts ages.
Before I switched over to a safety razor, I probably used a pack of 5 disposable razors every six weeks. That is a lot of single use plastic! This was probably one of the hardest switches for me. Quite frankly I found the whole idea of a safety razor terrifying! The first time I went to use it, I couldn't go through with putting the sharp blade against my skin and used a disposable instead. I slowly, and I mean very slowly, started using it. I haven't cut myself yet. You do have to take it a little more slowly than a disposable. I use this along side shaving soap in a tin and a wooden foam brush.
I wasn't really one for having lots of lotions and potions before going plastic free. To keep my skin soft I have always done dry skin brushing and used coconut oil as a body moisturiser. I have found this better than anything I have ever used.
For my face I have a very simple routine. I have a little wooden facial brush that's great for dry skin. I use a simple cleansing solution of rose water, which comes in a glass bottle. You can get them in the baking section in Marks and Spencer! I use cloth face pads for cleansing. If I want an extra treat, I will make a simple DIY face mask (I'll pop a post on with a few recipes) or I may treat myself occasionally at Lush. You can take all your tubs back to store to be recycled.
As a facial moisturiser I am currently using Bao Skincare recovery face cream. This arrived in my Eco Box this month. I am not loyal to a particular skin care, but I am loving this. It comes in a glass jar.
I really don't use much make up but I have found a few key zero waste bits that I use, but I will save that for a separate post!
Previous Post No Spend Challenge.
I'll try and stick with it for a bit then!
Would love to know what you use to make a face mask, I miss Lush ones and they do not travel well in the post. Also I have no make up right now and I would like to start trying to wear some again as a self-love thing I am working on at the moment. Your blog is wonderful, thank you for sharing. I actually stopped shaving all together for a while but I did succumb to shaving my legs as I was being optimistic the weather was warming up for a swim, I was totally wrong.
