10 years ago I was diagnosed with Crohns Disease after a colonoscopy. The dr who diagnosed me closed her practice two years later and I switched to a different Dr that I have been with for the past eight years. I have been on Pentasa for the past ten years as well as the occasional prednisone, entocort and uceris for the first time this year. My symptoms are stomach pains, mucous in my stool, diarrhea, fatigue, blood in my stool and sometimes I go to the bathroom and there is just blood. These symptoms flare up and usually go away after being on a form of steroid for six weeks. The last eight months I have had a lot of these symptoms as well as nausea. I was put on a total of 17 weeks of entocort and 5 weeks of uceris in a 7 month period. I just recently had a colonoscopy on 8/31/15 after which I was told that I was misdiagnosed with Crohns. My Dr told me there were only signs of hemorrhoids which does not explain all of my symptoms. He told me to go off of my Pentasa and follow up in October.
Does anyone have any advice? I am not sure if I should get a second opinion at this point or if there is something else I should be getting as a diagnosis.
