Well I've been so proud of myself, I've been in semi remission for two years, using 5mg of pred for cd in esophageal then pain meds when needed, car accident mainly, and mmj in tincture form. Well December 15th I started cramping over anything I ate, I have been on no restriction diet, then it happened. I started to cramp, at 10p.m. It woke me up, then the pain moved up higher than my resected site, usual cramping spot. It moved up, and the pain would not go away, I, unfortunately weaned off pain meds, because my back was better, didn't really need it for cd. Anyway, no pain meds, finally at 7a.m. I had to go to Er, I crawled into Er, o told them I had cd but it seemed different, like blockage, they had me in a Er bed within 5min. And hooked up to iv immediately, within 2min. The Er dr. Came in gave me 2mg of diladid, and sent me for ct scan I had to drink that thick stuff, wouldn't go thru, they sent me up to critical care, private room, immediately. Watched me for two days, nothing by mouth, then the next day did endo. Nothing showed, the next day did colonoscopy, the opening at resected site GI said was the size of silver dollar, mild inflammation, cd was not involved at all, strictly adhesions. Now off pred. No pain meds, only when needed, so far total remission again, but I'm on apriso, and I use my tincture for arthritis, and I switched to butter, mmj butter. I make it strong and put it in my coffee, works fantastic for me. I'm a artist so I can do this, but that butter, whew! Lasts 4-5 hrs, I won't lie, stoned to the bone. Here are side affects, really fun doing my artwork. Also I had kidney stone 7 days after I got home from hosp. Caused by pred. I was in a lot of pain for 10 days after I got home, so ididn't use anything, but smoke, I read in here that someone said it helped when they are cramping, so I tried that, and it helped me get rid of gas, but I know when you smoke 90% of med goes up in air. I finally figured out how to do butter, take very little, I couldn't take being stoned every day for 4-5 hrs, it was a bit much. But my point is, adhesions are nasty
