I apologize for cramming so much information into a small space, but I would like to get a better idea where I stand health-wise.
I was on 40 Milligrams and did a slow taper-When I got to 10 Mg, I tapered 2.5 milligrams down per week; A slow taper.
Two days after I stopped the Prednisone, I had a flareup of diarrhea plus I've had horrible exhaustion.
I have had two Entyvio infusions so far with the next on May 14th plus I am taking approx 800% of the MDI of Iron as per my doctor's recommendations for my anemia.
I have also read that high doses of Iron can cause fatigue and diarrhea.
And I have had problems eliminating and wonder if I have anal stenosis: My Colonoscopy from four months ago and my recent MR Enterography showed no obvious blockages.
So between the Entyvio, stopping Prednisone, taking high doses of Iron and a flareup of some of my Crohn's symptoms, especially severe cramping before and during a bowel movement:
I'm trying to figure out why I'm so exhausted (my blood sugar levels are not bad).
Is the fatigue a combination of the Entyvio, the Iron, my anemia, being off of Prednisone and my Crohn's flareup?
Do I have adrenal issues because I am off of the Prednisone (I did a slow taper)?
