Could the reason for your tiredness be that you're getting too much sleep? I've sometimes found that on the rare occasions I've managed to sleep for a long time, if I go for more than 9 hours, it can be very difficult to shake off the lethargy all day. I've never had Pred, but when I first...

Thanks for all your comments everyone. I want to try and avoid taking anything to make me sleep if possible but I'm going to try to alter my body clock to see if that helps. I wonder if getting up and going to the gym in the morning before work might do the trick, or maybe even just making...

I was the same, only I stopped growing at 5'7". Even though I wasn't diagnosed with Crohn's 'til a couple of years ago, thinking back the signs have always been there - it was just never severe enough to start thinking anything was wrong until I was about 20. The thing is, it's something...

I know about Crohn's causing issues with sleep and general tiredness and all that, but how do people deal with it? I'm usually ok with about 7-8 hours sleep per night, but very rarely get it. The bizarre thing is my body clock is all screwed up. I'm always knackered in the morning, so much so...

And I only found out about it just before we were chatting about it! I went to the chemist for some strong pain killers (damned wisdom teeth) and they asked if I had tried Inuprofen and Paracetamol together; then she asked me if I had any stomach issues etc so I told her. Straight away it was...

I had my first one in 2002 then another in 2007. Hopefully I won't need another for a while.

Hiya mate! I used to be on Pentasa (2g twice a day). It did the job but not as effectively as Azathioprine does. I never noticed any side effects, I just struggled to swallow the tablets because they're so big and start to disintegrate as soon as they get in your mouth. I was weaned off them...

After I'd got used to taking Azathioprine I went on a mission to improve my fitness. It wasn't bad to start with, but I'm a Rugby League match official and thought I could benefit from a better fitness level. As my fitness improved, I started to feel better and better, both physically and...

I'm not sure, but it something that always seems to strike me down around that time of year, which is something a few of my friends commented on this time around. I went to the doctors and to see my specialist to ask that very question though, given that Azathioprine is an immunosuppressant but...

I've still not figured out exactly what causes me problems, there are a few things I avoid though. I stay away from processed foods as far as possible. Spicy foods also cause me problems which is extremely annoying because I really like some of them. Concentrated fruit juices - I may as...

Hi Everyone, I'm Neil, I'm 27 years old and I've just registered on the forum. My story goes all the way back to 2001 when I was at Uni and living in Bristol. I'd been having symptoms for some time, but they were quite mild and I was a bit scared about seeing a doctor. Eventually, with the...
