Hey, Around 7 months ago I ended up in hospital due to extremely bad stomach pains, later on I found out I had crohns disease. I had symptoms for a good year and ended up having a right hemi colectomy due to a perforation in my colon.
Since then, I have had various tests because I had to have a temporary Ileostomy. My MRI of my small bowel was clear and my Colonoscopy was normal from my transcending colon down to my sigmoid/rectum where there was very very small pseudo polyps. This area also had an extremely mild crohns activity.
Going forward from this, my gastro medic explained she was happy for a reversal and she would speak to my surgeon. She wanted to put me on this medication I have mentioned in the title however wanted to check with him if he would prefer me to be on this medication now before surgery, or after. Anyway...
I am slightly worried about the medication and its side effects etc, as I have read some bad things. Its only the bad things you hear about anyway since the people having a fine time with the medication don't have a reason to post.
Is their anyone that has been on this medication and had any side effects or is their anyone who thinks I should reconsider this medication?
I am 21 and fit and well after my operation. Things seem to be getting better, especially since my small bowel was normal. Anyways cheers for the help in advance.
