Hi everyone! My name's Julia and I was diagnosed with Crohn's back in December. Since then I've been on Prednisone, trying to taper down. But the last time I tried to taper down to two pills, my symptoms flared up horribly. The doctor that I go to is really pushing that we start 6mp, but my parents really don't want to do that, trying things like Turmeric and Wormwood and Cat's Claw instead (yeah, they're weirdos). But I know that I can't stay on steroids for very long, or they'll cause all kinds of problems.
So what can I do? I'm so scared that even if I start 6mp, the side effects will force me to stop (I mean, it IS chemotherapy), or it won't work at all. But I'm also scared not to start 6mp, because I'm not really getting much better.
Please help? Just a little advice?
