I am currently taking pred and have noticed that I have a complete lack of sex drive. Obviously I am flaring right now but in the past this hasn't been an issue, this is also the highest dose I've ever been on. Is this a normal side effect from this drug or is it just from the flaring? Also, has...

Don't be afraid of overdose at that level. I was on 180mg/day for a few week and was fine (minus the side effects) and am now down to 100mg/day. From what my Dr told me, there is no max dose for pred so no way to OD. Not like I would want to test the theory but it's good to know just in case I...

I am active duty USMC right now and have been for almost 11 years. I can tell you that, for us, it's an automatic disqualifier. I may actually be medically discharged due to Crohn's but that is up in the air right now. Seems they need to be able to control the flares prior to letting me go. I...

Thanks for the reply. I just got back from a very frustrating appointment with my Dr. He is reluctant to place me on any additional meds right now but I do get to continue tapering off the prednisone and should be on Entocort in two weeks or so. Yeah, I joined this just because it can be...

So I started having symptoms in August of 2009 and was sent to the hospital for possible appendicitis. When the CT scan came back negative for that, I was referred to a GI Dr. Since then life has been interesting to say the least. The first thing my Dr did was schedule a "C" scope since they...
