Colitis-When will my life be normal?

Hi Everyone,

I was just diagnosed with colitis, after a serious attack that put me in the hospital last week. I am still waiting for my results back to find out if it was just from a parasite or if it's chronic. Before all this happened I was a really active healthy person. I exercise all the time! I haven't been able to do this in over a week now and I can barely eat. I am on 2 medications plus pain killers so all I can do is sleep. Anyone know how long it's going to be until I can go back to my normal life again?

TIA!

My doctor called today and he said I have colitis, I am not sure what kind. But it had to due with inflammation. I have to go for a colonoscopy a month from today, so I guess I will find more out then. Thank you so much for all of that info!
