jhicks, I can completly understand and relate to yur predicament with side effect! For example, I was given Prednisone to combat a flare and got the rare side effect of avascular necrosis. While preparing for surgery for the avascular necrosis, I had to get cleared by my cardiologist for surgery but he discovered I had high cholesterol and prescribed Livalo which gave me the very rare side effect of spreading my Crohns from my sigmoid colon through my GI tract. When I was then prescribed Apriso for the spread of Crohns, I got the very rare side effect of pancreatitis...and so on and so forth. So, I understand your desire to try the least dangerous drug needed that may control the disease. I would be on LDN now but I have to get the other knee grafted first so I am unfortunately unable to try it until I either postpone my surgery or wait till after my surgery to try it.
If you try it, please keep us posted on how you are doing!
