Greetings everyone - I am very grateful this site exists! I am seeking some advice. I was diagnosed with Crohns in 2012, confined to the terminal ileum. I was put on Entocort and Imuran, Took Imuran until I needed a TI resection in 2014. I have been taking Humira since then. Colonoscopy on Dec 24th found inflammation in my descending colon, so my GI put me on 5-ASAs and Cortiment and said he will put me on Prednisone if Cortiment doesn’t work.
So, I have few questions: does anyone know long it should take for Cortiment to work? How long does it take for 5-ASAs to work? I am also nervous about taking Prednisone – are sided effects as extreme as Dr Google says?
I am scheduled for a follow-up appoint with my GI soon and I am seeking some advice about what questions you think I should be sure to ask and what treatment options my specialist may suggest.
I would definitely appreciate any thoughts you can share.
Thanks!
