So, after being diagnosed with Crohn's and discharged from the hospital, I am now on my third day of prednizone medication. They are planning to have me on it for about a month, and slowly taper off. The meds seem to be taking effect, hurrah! as my stomach cramps have greatly receded, and my BMs are getting more normal slowly! (type 5 rather than type 7, thank goodness)
Am still on a bland diet of mash potato, banana smoothies, and canned soups. I am also slowly introducing more solid food, like today I had half of a can of tuna in oil.
I haven't had any side effects from the meds yet except for the hUNGER GODDAMN this stuff makes me hungry.... I just wanna eat a big huge subway sandwich. Mmmmm...
My concern is, will the side effects begin to kick in in a week? 2 weeks? Not at all?
