What should I do? 39 year old white female with crohn's disease for 20 yrs. One flair up per year typically in the spring. Have always treated with predisone and quickly cleared up the flair. Have never been on maintence medicine until one year ago I started azathioprine 100 mg. This spring, April 24 th I started the worse flair up in my 20 yrs of the disease. Wondering why prednisone has not fixed me up this time it has been 4 mo. Azathioprine was increased to 150 mg 7 weeks ago and now toxicity level is too high Dr discontinued 5 days ago. I am on my prednisone taper on only 10 mg and since off azathoprine am feeling much better. Had a TB skin test and am supose to start humira upon results. Now wondering if I should ? I do not have an active flair, only some painful gas cramps.:sign0085: I don't think I am sick enough to risk all the side effects of humira.
