Crohn's rears its ugly head

Sep 26, 2018 09:43

Without getting too graphic, I'll just say that for the past week or so, I've been seeing multiple signs that my Crohn's Disesae is coming out of remission. This, literally right after I was told by my gastro that the colonoscopy showed I was *in* remission, even at the microscopic level. Which I probably was, at the time. But now I don't think ( Read more... )

Oh no! I hope that everything settles down ASAP, or that there is at least more medical options available than you realise. x

Oh no! I hope it proves to be a minor and very temporary setback and that your Crohn's still in remission and stays there. Fingers very firmly crossed for you. *big hugs*

Oh f***! I'm really sorry ...
I hope it's only a small flare up and things will calm down again.
*hugs*

Well, that's NOT GOOD. Get thee to your gastro.

And I'll send out some good ju-ju to you. *hugs*

Dare I say it: OH SHIT. :P

I hope it's a minor flare-up and things settle down soon. I forget, can you tolerate steroids?

You're hilarious. :-P

See above: I can tolerate steroids but they don't work on the Crohn's. (They did work for my optic neuritis in 2012.)

Point of amusement: I can generally tolerate Prednisone doses up to 40mg - I've taken as much as 60mg, but my heart races then, and the second time I was put on a dose that high, I didn't tolerate it as well as I had previously. Still - I could definitely manage 40mg. My FIL, who weighs 40 pounds more than I do, goes bonkers at 20mg.
