Crohn's & Pain

[PatrickC]

Hi Everyone,

I have to ask a question related to Crohn's pain. I'm in the midst of a mild flare up and have been on Budesonide and Lialda for almost two years. Aside from gut/intestinal pain, muscle and joint pain, and mild fatigue I have NO other symptoms. Is this bizarre? Has anyone experienced this? I don't know if I should be nervous or thrilled...?

Any insight and/or common tales would be great.

Thanks!

It's not bizarre so much as it is good fortune. Mild gut pain only is my typical Crohn's symptom. When things get bad I have also internal bleeding resulting in anemia, but that's rare. In my case mild pain only is simply the hallmark of mild CD, which fits with your description your current bout as a mild flare.
