Hello Everyone.
I've recently been diagnosed with Crohn's after a month and a half in the hospital with Docs trying to figure out what was wrong. I'm currently on the prednisone taper. Started with 40mg and am stepping down 5mg a week. I'm at 30mg now and have started noticing blood when I have a bowel movement. Not a lot. Talked to the dr two days ago and he said it's okay and expect during a taper and as long as there isn't a lot of blood, fever or pain. I am starting Remicade in a few weeks once it gets approved by my insurance. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced symptoms returning during a taper.
