Ulcerative Colitis - advice please!

Hi all,

Just after a bit of advice really..

I'm full time cabin crew for a British airline and have been signed off work for the last few weeks after I ended up in hospital with what docs think is ulcerative colitis (awaiting confirmation)
I have been on steroids which I'm now reducing down to none over the next few weeks and am taking Mezavant daily which seems to be doing the trick (touch wood!)
I just wondered if there are any other crew out there who do/have flown with UC and how it affects your career?
My concern at the minute is if I will be able to continue flying? And if I can't where that leaves me? i.e would my company have to find me an alternate position on the ground or can they give me the boot as I'm unfit to fulfil my duty as cabin crew?

Any advice will be much appreciated, thanks
