Need some support

Hi everyone I feel that im in need of some support and suggestions , I am going through some stuff and my dr cant help me just upped my pred again I have been on it for 6 months now? What am I supposed to do if no one are listening to me while I am suffering like this? Dr tells me I might be on pred for the rest of my life. Im hopeless now
 
Ron I dont think that its good to be on pred for this long and now even longer. I have been in horrible pain it feels as if my stomach are tearing apart. My meds are not working and it seems that im getting no where with this or getting any better

Christi....sorry you are having such problems and I would definitely be seeking another opinion from a gastroenterologist specializing in IBD.
I don't think it's a good idea to be on steroids for that length of time.
Have you been offered Remicade or Humira?
There is always hope and there will be something else you can try until you find one that works.
You do need a good specialist to help you more
Feel better soon
Hugs and best wishes

I would definitely seek a second opinion. I'm currently undiagnosed but I was on Prednisone and Advair (both steroids) for asthma a lot as a teenager and I know that it is not for prolonged use. If your doctor is not willing to listen or willing to try other meds, then he is not worth your while. You deserve good care.
