Hello All
I do not suffer from Crohn's myself but my husband has since he was 19 years old. He is now 30 years old and in these 11 years he has never had a hold of it. He has had a bowel resection and has "flare ups" regularly. But this one is the worst yet. We have seen several doctors and they aren't able to tell us anything. All we know is he is unable to work, is in constant pain and is finding no relief. His currently symptoms are as follows: Constant abdominal pain, no appetite, and when he does eat he causes a very upset stomach. He is in the bathroom every 30 minutes with very mucous/bloody diarrhea. He is constantly loosing weight (50 lbs in the last 4 years). Because of his Crohns he gets kidney stones on a regular basis and also has severe arthritis in his hips.
My husband is in constant pain and i don't know what to do.
They have told us to take Prednisone but we can't afford it. I give him Tylenol for the pain but it doesn't do much. He smokes Marijuana to take the edge off but its hard to afford that as well.
What can i give him?? What can he take for his pain?? I don't know what to do, i will take ANY advice possible...please. He has fallen into a severe depression because of this, i don't know how to help him.
