If you are that concerned about starting the new job, and not taking pred, maybe it would be in your best interest to go on a liquid diet for a couple of days. Let the gut rest. Usually that helps quite a bit.

well me and mum decided that im defintly in a flare,sore joints,sore tummy,D and i also get pins and needles in my face :S so ive started my pred 20mg and me and mum are gonna haf to do battle at the doctors to get them to give me mre pred and cipro (the doctors who failed to dx my crohns)i hate going there last time when we told him the my ferritin level wass 5 he told us that we were wrong and mde it seem like we didnt knw wat we were tlking bout........i assume hes going to be like "prednisone ??you dont need prednisone you have a cold!!!"

Your definitely on the right track when you get a flare up with classic symptoms..finish the prednisone even if you feel like your over it, and the Cipro and either go on a liquid diet or soft bland for bowel rest. Bowel rest is the key!
