Hi guys,
I am a 24 year old female who has recently been diagnosed with Crohn's. I'm currently on my 4th week of Prednisolone (35mgs this week to taper down weekly til i am on zero) and am also taking Pentasa 1g twice a day.
I was wondering if anyone has had night pains come on suddenly during the course of their steroid treatment?
I have had this since Monday of this week, each night getting woken up 3 or 4 times with a sharp pain right in the centre of my tum, just below the diaphragm which kinda spreads down to the top of my pubic bone. It seems to be relieved by passing wind, but then it comes back big time around about
6-7am where i have to have a bowel motion which in itself if painfully crampy, so much so I get lightheaded and feel faint.
I saw my GP today and she prescribed me Domperidone 20mg three times a day and has also started me on lansporazole 30mg.
besides these meds i also take buscopan and colofac (mebeverine 135mg) as and when i need to. I've never taken so many meds in all my life!
Thanks in advance for any replys i may get xxx
