Steve Cooke:

Our son had the first symptoms of UC at 7, was diagnosed at 8, tried all sorts of nasty *** until he had is colon out at 9, lived with a bag for a year and was re-attached at age 10. He is now 11 and is doing wonderfully well - though he just had his first bout of pouchitis a few months ago. May God bless you and keep you Darren.

Best wishes to your boy!

I'm a Liverpool fan, so you can imagine I hate Man Utd. But I would like to wish Darren Fletcher my best wishes and hopes we makes a full recovery. I have the same illness and know how difficult it is to get on with your daily life. All I can say is have patience and im sure you will come back stronger than ever. Hope this message reaches Darren.

Why are you in our forum then?

I'm a Manchester United fan from Malaysia too and I also wish Darren Fletcher a full recovery. Take your time, Fletch. Have patience. And I would also thank you, Liverpool fan for being generous enough to wish him recovery.

I am a ManUtd supporter from Malaysia, and a Darren Fletcher fan. I've even seen you play in the Scotland team on our television here. I would like to wish you a good rest to allow your health to get better. May you be granted the patience to do that, and the inner resources to occupy yourself happily while you (and your fans) wait to see you back on the pitch. It won't be easy for you, I know, but I hope for the best for you, and my thoughts are with you. I must say it is very generous-spirited of the Liverpool fan above to convey his good wishes to you.

Get well soon we need your 110% in our squad

Like the above contributor, I know all about Ulcerative Colitis. I contracted it in my late teens while I was studying hard. I am now 60 and have been free of it for 30 years. I am married with 2 children and play golf 3 times a week. There is life at the end of the tunnel. Good luck, Darren for a full recovery from a lifetime Red.

I wish him all the best for his health an hope he will be back soon; not only because another midfielder is out but as he is a very good guy with a United heart.
