This is my first post so please bare with me!
I have suffered with crohns now for 22 years on and off. These last few years have been quite bad. I was on a cocktail of tablets,which most of you are. The tablets stopped working and I was put on influximab. I have been on this for a couple of years and it has worked well. I was initially on it evey eight weeks and it was great. Unfortunately they then moved me to every twelve weeks and it's not going so well. I start to have symptoms again about week 9 now and suffer until I get my next infusion. Along side this I have also lost 5 stone by eating more healthy but this seems to be aggregate it more. I'm seeing the consultant tomorrow as they wanted to discuss trying me on the tablets again. Although I have been poorly I have worked full time and look after my animals and I am so worried about having trouble leaving the house again. Not sure what answers I'm after, just having a moan really! But any ideas or similar experiences welcome x
