Hi guy's, Just wondering if anyone has had personal experience on the SCD diet good or bad. I have been on the diet for the past few weeks now. But the problem is that I have been losing weight in the past few weeks also, despite eating a lot more to compensate for the lack of Carbs. Problem is...

Thanx Ruthymg and Brando and all of the rest of the reply authors, it really helps to hear about everyones personal experiences with this crappy drug. It's kind of reassuring that this isn't a unique experience that is only hppeneing to me, although I wish it never happened to you guy's either...

Hi Guys, Just an update, unfortuneatly I'm still feeling really bizzare mentally even though I have just dropped down to 15mg of Pred (originally starting at 50mg tappering down 5mg per 5 days). Strange but I know how i'm acting and thinking about curtain things is completly out of character...

Thanx Guys I g ess I just have to hang in there, no other choice I guess, but it really sucks that the only really effective drug (for me anyway) Pred has so many horrible side effects.......

Thanx Jeff i'll try. Can I ask you what are you on at the moment and how effective has it been?

Imuran v's Purinethol I suppose i'm just going to have to try it as I have no other choice at the moment, I have to try and get my Crohn's under control because I dont think I can stand to go on Cortisone any more, this time round Pred has given me tremendous mood swings as well other side...

I've been on Pred a few times before but this time round it is really screwing around with my mood swings and making me really sad and snappy all the time. I'm currently tappered down to 30mg reducing 5mg per five days. I feel worse mentally at 30mg than I did at 50mg. Does anyone know roughly...

Hi guys, just wondering how many of you were put on Imuran and have had that failed then been switched to Purinethol and have had very good results. I am currently on Anti-MAP therapy but unfortunatly my Gastro is telling me that it might not be an option for me any more because I have had a...

Almost 2 years ago I had 30cm of large bowel and 30cm of small bowel removed where the two connect. My surgeon at the time said that my bowel motions should go back to normal as long as there is no inflammation present. I still have very sensitive bowels and my stools are almost always very...

Dear Skinsfan1229, do you know how long it takes roughly for a persons body to get back to normal once the body starts to produce its own natural steroids? and does it start to make its own steroids at around 3mg of Entocort is that what you meant in your reply post? I would really appreciate it...

Hi Mazen, Some Medicines can cause these symptoms eg. Antibiotics etc. Check the Medicine side effects list and see if any of the meds you are on have these side effects. I suggest that you should see a doctor asap before any of these symptoms get worse. Make sure you see a good doctor who...

That you so much for your replies guys. I'm so sorry I didn't reply sooner but I have had problems with my PC and wasn't able too. I am very sorry to hear that all of you have had the same side effects as I am encountering but it does help me to know that I am not the only one this has happened...

Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone has experienced any kind of mood swings/ depression etc.. while tappering off Entocort or Pred after being on either for a long time? I asked my G.P and she said my current depression etc could be caused by the long term use of Entocort, once I tappered down...
