I was diagnosed in Aug 2012 after years of pain. After losing 40 pounds I finally changed docs. The new doctor did tests and within weeks had diagnosed the Crohn's. I started off on prednisone and pentasa, then Remicade after a near blockage and a hospital stay in March the infusion dose was doubled but I am still at 5 weeks. I have terrible arthralgia, headaches, and fatigue. I get B12 shots, which help for a short time with fatigue, but I feel I am constantly fighting anxiety and depression. I was on short term disability but was denied long term because my job is a mental job and with B12 my memory and focus are better. I am appealing the decision because the long hours and stress make me feel worse. I'd appreciate any advice.
