newbie..frusrated
Hey everyone, I am frustrated right now. I have been on and off steroids for 2.5 years now. I have terminal ileum crohns and suffer from constant bloating, abd pain and cramping,bloody stools (at times), joint pain,anemia,night sweats(at times),diarrhea(of course). I am currently on entocort but go to the dr on wednesday. Have not been feeling bad on this drug but they want to take me off possibly. scared the symptoms will come back, as I already felt worse when they tappered the dose. This med has decreased diarrhea and I now battle constiption, which is hard because I think I lost a lot of rectal tone with diarrhea and now have a hard time with formed stool. What a journey, but my attitude is...I have crohns...It doesn't have me.:smile:
