    Inflectra Side Effects

    Hi guys. I know it’s best to consult with my doctor and I will do this but I wanted to see if anyone out there who’s on inflectra or similar has experienced what I’m experiencing. Been on inflectra for 2 years now for my Crohn’s. I’m a 42 year old female. No other medical diagnoses. I have...

    Flare not responding to meds

    Wow. 6 months on budesonide with a flare. I always thought the steroids were supposed to work faster than that. My GI doc upped my prednisone to 60mg and I was still in a flare so he admitted me to the hospital for some IV steroids. Waiting on my first dose now!

    Flare not responding to meds

    I truly appreciate all of your replies. Even though I was diagnosed with Crohn’s almost 16 years ago, this is the first time I’ve had a really bad flare. I found a new GI who seeks really great. I’m really hopeful. I am now on 60mg of prednisone (day 4) and I think I’m seeing some improvements...

Still bleeding, hardly eating since I’m afraid to go to the bathroom, waking up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. Not sure if the hemorrhoids are bleeding from the inside. I’m...

    Hemorrhoids

    Thanks for your reply. Is this normal? To flare for over month and not respond to any corticosteroids? I’ve been flaring since 10/22. My next GI appointment is 12/9. Not sure if I can deal with this for much longer. Today marks day 7 on 40mg of prednisone.

    Hemorrhoids

    Flaring for a month now and have developed external hemorrhoids. At what point do people seek more help other than calling their GI every few days?? I’m down about 7lbs (I’m a very petite woman, so this a lot for me), still bleeding, waking up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. I’m...

    Flare not responding to meds

    I’ve been in a flare for about a month now. Was on hydrocortisone enemas for 8 days and was not responding. GI switched me to 9mg Budesonide and I’m feeling worse. Waking up at 4:30am to pass mostly mucus and blood. Then needing the bathroom at least 5 times in the morning before my stomach...
