Hi I just finished Prednisolone on Saturday after being on it for 16 weeks and also had my 3rd Infliximab infusion on Friday. Now for the past 3 nights I've been sleeping pretty much 12 hours straight each night which is very unusual for me and getting a breakout of spots on my face. Could this be from the infusion or is it possible that since I've finished my steroids, this is them getting out my system and my natural steroids kicking in (if that makes sense?)

Any suggestions would be great :D
 
Acne eruptions after finishing Prednisone are common according to my doctor. I got a dabbler bottle prescribed for me for the month I had trouble with it. It stops when the Prednisone leaves your body.

Fatigue with Crohns is also very common. Most of us find that the fatigue ranks right up there as one of the worst symptoms. You're doing the right thing by getting lots of rest at night but might want to get your Vitamin B levels checked. A lot of Crohns patients seem to be deficient in that particular vitamin.

Consult your doctor about this. Take care!
