Might be going on to trial meds

[KayleighMeek]

Hello,

So I went to my GI on Friday and they seem to think my crohns is in remmision but I am still suffering with horrific enteropathic arthritis. They are going to meet with the rheumatologist and discuss what to do next. They suggest maybe trials but said I may not qualify because my crohns is not active but I can't keep going on with this joint pain. I am a bit worried about what may happen in the future as its all very uncertain at the moment I just hope something will help. It's so frustrating when my crohns is in remmision but my joints are still so bad I thought it was all meant to be tied together. I just need to wait and see what they suggest they said they will be in contact in less than 4 weeks fingers crossed they decide they can help me. Trying to keep optimistic and carry on as normally as I can x

Can you possibly take a drug for arthritis or join one of those trials? Why does it need to be a Crohn's trial?

I have exhausted all medications I have tried everything. What they weren't to sure about was because the arthritis is caused by crohns that it might not fit requirement for certain trials, this is what I am waiting to hear about to see what is available and what I can qualify for. I am new to trials so don't know to much about them only what I have been told by GI and rheumatologist.
