I am 38 years old lady and diagnosed with Crohn's disease for the last 12 years..I am taking Mesacol - 800 mg twice daily, azathioprine - 100 mg, Wyselone - 15 mg, Multivitamin.
Now for the last 5 years I am on Wyselone and when I taper it to 5 mg I start passing bowel 15 times a day with profuse bleeding.Again my GI puts me on 40mg steroids. I have put on weight by 15 kg and look horrible with a moon shaped face and obese.
I am loosing self confidence because of my looks and wanted to come out of steroids.
My GI has put me on Adalimumab recently...Plz help me in understanding if it is a better alternative to Wyselone ..I am very depressed.
