I had a laproscopic terminal ileum resection last week and now 5 days post op. I am still in a lot of pain, I was discharged on codeine and paracetamol but it isn't helping a great deal. Higher dose codeine makes me feel awful though. I am trying to keep moving but it hurts so much to get out...

Well I started on 6mp only 3 days ago and only 25mg and already I feel awful, totally spaced out, wiped out, tired, sick headache. I'm really scared now that nothing is going to suit me. Have asked to go back to see consultant, as have been seeing nurse specialist (who is pretty good) they...

I had 50 mg for 2 weeks and 75mg for 4 days before I gave up.

I have had crohns for 20yrs and its been on the whole maintained well on Asacol, with perhaps a yearly flare which responded quickly to steroids. However have been having problems since Christmas, my GP put me on 30mg prednisolone in March which didn't do a lot and then I had a colonoscopy in...

Absolutely, I got more and more spaced out and felt drugged and out it. I started on 50mg though, after 2 weeks they increased it to 75mg and I just felt awful, exhausted, headaches and completely out of it. I didn't feel safe driving a car so I stopped the tablets.

It appears I cant take AZA, I was only on it just over 2 weeks and the side effects were awful, I felt totally drugged, nauseous, overwhelmingly tired and spaced out with headaches. I think they will want to try 6-MP next (will speak to specialist nurse when they reopen after bank holiday)...

Thanks. I didn't take my dose last night, I felt so awful all weekend, headache that wouldn't go away, feeling drugged and tired and sick, I really need to get back to my mother today for all her care. I feel a bit better this morning after just missing one dose. Will speak to my specialist...

Me too.

Thank you, blood results were all fine so I have upped the dose to 75mg. I don't remember feeling this tired when weaning steroids before, but I have had 2 courses close together. The tiredness is just unbelievable, and not sure I can keep going like this, I have a small farm and an elderly...

Hi, I'm new here, what a great informative site this is. I have had Crohns for over 20yrs and been reasonably well controlled until the last 8 months, a flare up didn't respond well to steroids (currently on my second course of steroids, started at 40mg a day tailing down 5mg a week) and then...
