Hi all,came across this site by accident,glad I did.I have had Fistulising Crohn's Disease for 15 years now.My large bowel was removed 10 years ago,I was lucky,didn't need to get stoma.I have 4 kids,youngest is 7 months.After having her I got a very bad bout and was put on deltacortril and started on remicade.I was also on imuran and Pentasa but had to stop Pentasa as it was starting to effect kidney function and stopped imuran.Had 5 infusions,but it seemed to make it worse,MRI and barium meal showed it was very active in small bowel.Started Humira 5 nearly 4 weeks ago and on deltacortril and I'm no better.Pain is still excrutiating.I know it can take a while for it to work,but after 1st 4 injections it seemed to get better for 10 days then regress.Has anyone else found that?Same time every day,I take painkillers but they don't kick in for about 2 hours and last an hour.I get so dizzy and tired from them I can't function.I'm praying its just getting worse before it gets better.Doctor said if this doesn't work I will probably have to go under knife again and more than likely end up with colostomy bag.Don't know if I could cope with that.
Anyway,sorry for rambling,would appreciate any feedback.Thanks.
