Hi!!
I've posted on here a few times about being extremely underweight. I have moderate Crohn's disease.
anyway, I had been on Pentasa up until I got pregnant with my daughter (she's 5 months now). I didn't seem to respond to the Pentasa so I couldn't see the point in taking it. being pregnant was so awesome for me because I had an appetite, I gained 30 pounds but was only 89 when I got pregnant. So after I had my daughter, I started taking the Pentasa again. once again, nauseous and little to no appetite. I had pain but nothing extreme.
Then it started. I started going to the bathroom so much. I'm so glad I'm a stay at home mom except school. I got down to 90 pounds again. :'(
I actually got a new GI because the old one never listened and ALWAYS blew me off. Soon as I went in he said he'd be switching me to Humira. he also put me on entocort. they called to tell me that night that my potassium was too low, so I started taking these HUGE pills.
Starting last week the pain started. It's odd because I know it hurts but I always forget how bad until I'm going through it again. I have a baby and it was so hard to get motivated to get up and interact/play with her in this pain. I started taking leftover Percocet from my csection. I ended up going to the ER because there was so much blood in my stool. all they did was prescribe me more Percocet. they ease the pain some but I know how easy it is to become addicted to these but without them I feel like I can't move.
anyway, I guess I'm just feeling sorry for myself. I'm terrified to give myself shots but I know I have to. I'm scared this flare will never leave. I'm always going to be a skinny freak who lives in pain and with nausea. Oh, and has to get up every twenty minutes at work to go the restroom. I just HATE this disease. I hate taking pain pills because my boyfriend is addicted to such things. I never understood til I started taking them and now I understand, which scares me. i want to eat like a normal person... I don't want to look so skinny my bones pop out. please tell me the Humira works. Could I ask for Prednisone for weight gain?
