    Methotrexate during covid times

    Hello! My doctor is about to put me on methotrexate as well, but she said it was such a low dose (1 shot a week) that I wouldn't really be at an increased risk -- just keep doing the general common sense things (wash hands, wear a mask, stay 6ft away, etc)

    Any difference in caloric intake? Also B12 and Iron!

    TL;DR : Does having Crohn's change the amount of calories you need to consume? How do you guys get enough B12 and Iron? Hello! I've not been officially diagnosed with Crohn's yet (scope was delayed due to covid) but I have strong suspicions that that's what it is. I was in a stereotypical flare...

    If I'm not in a flare, will the colonoscopy show anything?

    Hi all! A month ago I had a CT scan for intense abdominal pain and discovered that 15cm of my terminal ileum was badly inflamed.
