Hello. I have an appointment this Mon. at UM for a second opinion and I was hoping to get some advice on questions I should ask the Dr.
I was diagnosed w/Crohns 10 yrs. Ago and have maintained on Pentasa. I had a colonoscopy last month that showed ulcers throughout my colon:/. The GI who did the scope wants be to start the SONIC treatment (150 imuran and remicade). Clearly I would prefer not to as I am feeling well for now and am nervous about the side effects.
I am going to UM for a second opinion before starting and will most likely do as the UM Dr. recommends and stay with them for treatment. I was hoping to get some idea of the types of questions I should be asking from the experts (forum members.
It is so comforting reading through posts! Thank goodness for this wonderful group!
