After a recent flare up I'd been visiting the ER everyother week which has worried my primary GI. He had me take an MRE with that delicious tasting solution and it showed more inflammation and some stricturing at the terminal illieum.
Their response? Increase my Humira to 1x/week (Expected) but also
Here it comes
...
Fourty Five (45!) days of COMPELTE bowel rest. I gotta ask I can't find this information anywhere. They've set me up with a PICC and will be doing TPN for the next 45 days with someone delivering the pouches to my rax.
My question is has anyone ever been put on something to this extent? Does anyone have any experience? I'm only four days into not eating or drinking a single thing and my stomach screams at me already (I'm a male, 6', 127lbs at last weigh in. Never had surgery and diagnosed only a few months ago)
Thanks, if I can't get more information I'm almost certain I'm gonna have some cheat days because I don't see how on earth I can last a month and a half without eating/drinking a single thing.
