My son Sean was diagnosed this January after salmonella poisoning landed him in hospital. I had always felt there was something wrong months before when he became very tired, pale, and no energy. Doctors then said he was fine..
After spending 2 weeks in hospital dropping down to 96lbs (5'10) it was terrible.
Prednisone treatments and antibiotics helped thank goodness. Started imuran and was tapering off Pred until he had a flare. Back up on the pred..a month later started tapering again..is now in another flare/terrible head cold too. Doctors don't want to go back up on pred so started Asacol last week. So far no difference. Missing school and looking terrible poor guy. Any advice out there?
