Hello, I am 50 yr old female and was diagnosed 17 years ago with Crohns Disease. Up until a year ago my flares were manageable with Asacol/Prednisone. In 17 years I was in the hopital about 8 times, each time for a few weeks but came home in remission. A year ago things got worse and after a long battle with Steroids and many hospital stays, I started on Imuran and Remicade. It has been wonderful for me! Although my energy level is very low and due to a supressed immune system, I ended up with the flu and double pneumonia, my diarrhea is under control and manageable.

Hello and welcome to the forum 
I am glad that the tum has settled for you on these meds! I am wondering whether your docs ever do any checks on your vitamin levels especially with your low energy levels?

How are the supplements given? Is it from the doc or over the counter?
