Hi everyone,
I've had Crohn's for about 18 years now I'm new here. I thought some info from people who are actually dealing with this disease would be a big help, instead of just listening to doctors
I've had a rough time this last year, several flares which I was given entocort 9mg for 8 weeks. This last flare has been a tough one. It began in Nov and the steroids helped after a few weeks. I began weaning off of them in Jan but once I dropped to 6mg my symptoms returned. So I went back up to the 9mg for another 8 weeks. I finally stopped the meds about a week ago and started feeling sick only 2 days later. I spoke to my GI when the symptoms returned and he said its unusual to experience symptoms so soon after stopping the entocort.
Has anyone else experienced this?? I thought my symptoms might pass but they seem here to stay
Thanks everyone!
