Hi Christye,

Not good at all! Poor you. Hope it's a short lived flareup! I don't think a cold will have any effect on your crohns other than adding to your misery.

Fingers crossed you start feeling a bit better soon. x

Hi Christie, so sorry you are in rough shape at the moment. I don't bleed so I can't help you there but I was thinking 5mg is not alot of Prednisone to take and some people get into alot of pain and symptoms before the next infusion takes place. Some doctors will move it up closer. I know you must be worried but I would think you need to see your doctor asap. Don't let it go too long. Keep us posted. How long have you been on Remicade??
