Moving abroad with UC
Thu, February 21, 2019 2:21 PM
I'm a senior undergraduate at Vandy right now, majoring in SPED and Spanish - it's been a long term goal of mine to move abroad for a year or two to teach, somewhere in Central America. I spent 5 months studying abroad in Cuba and LOVED it - but with the spotty electricity, it was hard to keep my injections of Stelara cold... I was wondering if anyone on here had experience living abroad with UC and if you have any suggestions? I've thought a lot about switching medications - but my doctor is hesitant since I've been in remission for the past two years (the first time I've been in remission for over 3 months since my diagnosis in 2012). I always try to stay true to the fact that UC can't control my life... but when do you know what's reckless and what's determined with this disease sometimes?

Many of our Papa’s games can now be played without flash. They are some of the most exciting management games you can find anywhere. We have all of Papa Louie's bakeries, sandwich shops, and food stands, like his pizza, salad stand, and taco shop. You can pick a worker from the list, or you can make your own character from scratch. You can make the fast food expert look like you, or you can make them look completely crazy. No matter who it is, they need to be able to get things done quickly! We are working on making all of Papa's Games work without Flash right now.

For Joanne,
Not sure how to PM you, but I will be travelling to CR in the near future. I was wondering about the availability to Stelara and who your gastroenterologist is

Hi,
I live in Costa Rica. I have a fantastic gastroenterologist. He was trained in Japan and recently prescribed Pentasa, which has been a life saver.
A consultation with him is about $90.00 He speaks English, but knowledge of Spanish is a big help. The clinic is family owed, his son does the exams, it is located in Escazu, close to San Jose.
If you are a teacher, there are several private schools that are always looking for native English speakers.
Feel free to ask me questions about Costa Rica.
I have lived here for several years.
Warm regards, Joanne
