Hi, I've been diagnosed Crohn's one year ago. Since then I didn't follow any maintenance treatment except Prednisolone when it flare up.
I don't wanna take Remicade because I'm trying to keep the remission with LDN, paleo diet and organo oil. On December my CRP was 46, on January 54 and tomorrow I will know how high it's now. The doctor always said that was an acceptable value for a Crohn's (I don't think so, and I don't know if she's familiar with this kind of diseases, she's my new general doctor). Now I barely have any symptons, no pain, no diarrhea, only little blood every now and then.
Now the doctor wants to put me on Prednisolone again, with a dose of 100mg in the morning, and 50mg in the evening for the first 2 days, then tapering down.
I've been diagnosed one year ago and I had a relapse on september and so far I never heard those high doses... do you think she's wrong?
So far I have resorted to Prednisolone twice (first diagnose, first flare), do you think it's dangerous to be again, for the 3rd time taking Prednisolone?
