For the last year, I'v been on nothing but Apriso to control my crohns symptoms. Prior to this I was on Entecort and Apriso and I noticed some change when I stopped taking the entecort. Horrible...
Recently I had a Catscan done to look for active crohns in my small intestine. The GI DR called me with the results confirming its active. But he also mentioned some fatty deposits on my liver that...
Ironically I have the same pain evnthough I had a hysterctomy in 2006. Even now, I have pain low in the middle of my pelvic area and no one seems to know what's causing it my guess.....the crohns. I...
The Apriso doesn't bother me at all and infact I'm now taking 3 a day because I was having issues a few months back with burning in my stomach so my DR upped the dosage. Sounds like I need to talk...
That's wonderful! If you can get relief without side effects you doing good. My concern is the long term effects on the rest of my body from the steriods. Will you change to a different med after the...

Hi Chrissy, Your not alone! I've been on daily meds for crohns since being diagnosed almost a year ago and i still have pain. Sometimes the pain is in my right rib cage and moves to my back, yet it's...
Thank you for the replies! Its nice to know others are in the same situation. My cholesterol was fine was as well so the hbp must be related to the meds or the crohns. Oh well, I treat one problem...
Good question, I'm not sure if she checked it our not. I've always assumed when they take 3 tubes of blood its for a CBC. Of course, they only tell you what's not normal when they get the results...
