Anyone else experiencing this? These past few months I've found myself to be always so terribly cold despite the warm summer temperatures! I'm currently approaching my 5th month of Entocort for what was originally a relatively mild flare requiring a 3 month taper (9mg-6mg-3mg) but it flared up worse than it had been before after going down to 6mg so I've been back on 9mg for the last 2 months with an eye to reducing with Azathioprine . My symptoms have generally come under control again but I'm constantly freezing cold despite being bundled up in numerous seasonally-inappropriate layers.
I find myself shivering uncontrollably at times and keep experiencing waves of goosepimples over my skin. I've also gained some strange pink patches on my arm like a rash beneath my skin dotted with pin pricks of blood (good thing I was already too cold to don my bikini!). These things seems so bizarre that I can't help but wonder if it's Crohn's or medication related? My last blood test 2 weeks ago did show that my ESR rate was slightly on the increase again (38). Any ideas, or am I simply turning into a snowman?
