Hello everyone!
Kinda urgent question.
I just got diagnosed with Crohns April of this year. I have been on 9mg of budesonide ever since. I have struggled with nightmares and exhaustion on budesonide. My doctor drop to one pill starting on 7/15 then stop completely on 7/18. I just got suddenly hit with diarrhea and severe abdominal pain and overall feeling bad. It feels different from nornal crohns flare and gallbkadder problems.Is it possible that i am withdrawing? It's just such a random bout of D and I have been eating bland foods and I just got a humira shot tuesday.
Advice? Help? Please?
 
I did have withdrawal when i was also on budesonide. It was when i was on it for 9months solid, but little 6 or 8 week ones i didnt. It was bad and i felt like a junkie! I had headaches, knackered, nausia, felt shaky and dizzy, i hurt and ached all over and i didnt realise it at first but i kept grinding my teeth. I did have D but i did anyway so i couldnt tell if it was a flare, normal for me or the withdrawal.
I do hope you feel better, i did after 2 weeks then 4 back to my norm.
