my story and a question
This is my first post and I love love love :wub: this forum. It has been so comforting to read the threads and know that I'm not alone on this journey.
I have had symptoms of IBS since I was a teen, oo: decades ago. Had a colonoscopy in Oct 2010 and Dr. found ulcers in Terminal Ileum. Did blood test and upper GI also to confirm Crohn's. Have been on Pentasa since then, off a couple of times 'cause I ran out. Was also on Prednisone once. I went to the hospital last month for partial bowel obstruction. Did the NG tube, then clear liquids, semi-solid, then solid food and went home.
Now I'm on Azathioripine 50mg, Prednisone 30mg (Dr says he wants me to be on the Pred for a year) fun, fun, Pentasa 3 gms, and Pantoprazole.
Is it unusual to be on Pred and Aza at the same time?
I am waiting to hear from the Dr about blood test results before increasing the Aza to 100mg.
