Hi new to the board, not new to Crohn's...was diagnosed during my appendix surgery 2006...
Anyway I have been dealing with a long flare for 5 months, that started because I was a jack-ass and decided to quit taking all my meds at once in march, BAD CHOICE!
So recently they (GI/PCP) decided that ascacol wasn't working and that penstasa was they way to go, amoung a whole list of other meds. I tunred down the Remicade for now, I am not dealing with a list of side effect like that rigth now..lol
Anyway, I have seen on here that others don't think the pentasa is working, I wonder if I can expect these results also?
I have been frustrated for quite awhile and the major chronic pain is a constant reminder that I could use some relief and meds to work...
any thoughts about the pentasa?
