Japan has not done any drugs trials for this and prescribed oral pentasa to me, which let to an almighty flare. They prescibed pentasa liquid enemas, then steroids liquid enemas, then oral steroids all the while I am getting thinner, but puffier (thanks steroids!), my knees were very painful and my eyesight was blurry. I flew to the UK (nightmare 12 hour flight) + few hour transfer.
I have been on it, but for me it did not do anything, but I have a really bad case of crohn's. I have been on every medication in the book except for remicaid which they are doing next, but here are some of the meds that seemed to help me the most.

prednisone 40mg daily for 1 week, then 30 a day for a week, 20mg a day for a week, 10mg a day for a week 5mg a day for a week.

I have suffered from Crohns for 10+ years but only diagnosed last october. My doctor put me on pentasa that I am still on and I've tried numerous times to explain to him it doesn't work. I have daily pain and diarrhea 15+ times a day yet he still won't change my meds. The only test I have had done is a small bowel series which diagnosed it. No other tests to this day. He acts like he doesn't believe me when I say I have extreme pain every day.
He was under treatment and was given Pentasa granules , T PAN (40mg), Tab wysolone and Pentasa Anema. As there was no improvement. Doctor adviced to have Exemptia (Adalimumab) injection. 4 injections (40mg 8ml) was given. Next day he was having stomach pain, tight and rigid stomach, and fast breathing. He was immediately admitted in the nearby hospital and doctor found he was suffering from megacolon (toxic colon).
I had changed from Asacol to Pentasa the week before and the rectal pain had come back-significant burning pain. Went to another doctor and had more bloodwork-borderline IBD tests. Went off Pentasa for a few days in Dec and had severe RLQ pain and right hand pain. Got better after a week back on Pentasa. Had another colonoscopy-essentially negative in late Jan. I continue to have burning pain in my rectum and RLQ and right hand, general fatigue. Stress makes it worse.
I am on Cimzia and Pentasa 4grams a day, for the Crohns itself, Dicyclomine for most bowl and rectal spasms (works in calming down the need to go), and Tramodol 100mg (8 max a day) though I sometimes use more.
Strange thing, the Tramodol acts like a diuretic and with the Dicyclomine, tends to control the pain and symptoms to the point where I am functional again. Although, if it wasn't for the Pentasa and Cimzia , I would be in the hospital or going crazy from the pain and discomfort.
Like a lot of people, I probably had it long before I was forced to address the issue. I am currently on Pentasa and 6MP. All seem to be doing okay. However, recently I have been having a hard time swallowing. I can actually feel everything in my throat. Has anyone else experienced the same? I hate to go through any tests if anyone has suggestions. Wishing everyone long remissions!
This was after many different tests for different things. I was on Prednozone and Pentasa at first. I am still on Pentasa 8 times a day and many other meds. Mostly for pain, cramps and bleeding. Go to the crohns.com web site and after signing up, they will send you a wonderful book that answers many questions. I am glad to help and answer concerns. That's how we help each other. Please ask anything. It's like having a baby, all modesty is out the window.
He prescribed her half a tablet of Tryptizol every night before going to bed against nausea and one Pentasa Sachet every night before food against irritated bowel disease.
Moreover, she did a Gastroscopy which didn't show anything.
Can anyone of you help or might have had a similar experience? Is the doctor right with his treatment suggestions? She is also on the pill (Yasmine) which she started only in May though but wasn't taken while she was in Canada and the pain subsided.
Hi to everybody here this is very new to me I've never done on community chat or anything I'm 33 I have Crohn's disease with celiac disease and found out I am pregnant I only have one child that is 14 I had two other miscarriages I started cramping really bad yesterday and bleeding lightly not bright red and brown I've never heard of implantation bleeding and very helpful maybe that is what this is my mind is going crazy with thoughts and I guess with reading some of the things t
All 3 meds mentioned are class C drugs, which means none have been tested on pregnant women, but have shown to cause defomities or problems in laboratory animals. I would strongly think twice about getting pregnant while being on all of these meds. Ask yourself if the benefits out weigh the risks.

He is behind his peers. He is also the youngest in his class. Prior teachers have mentioned his short attention span. He has no behavior problems.
I have spent 3 entire days researching so I am fully prepared for his doctor appointment next week. I want to rule out any other causes for his attention. If he is diagnosed with ADD, I want to try everything before drugs.
What are the odds of those of us that are suffering from from tooth decay and paying outrageously for doctors appointments, prescriptions, and now dentists and dental bills, what do we need or have to do to begin a class action lawsuit? Four members of my family have been on subutex for about 6 years some for general pain and some for addiction and we all have the same issues with decaying teeth and such. Our doctor has no means of tapering us off but we all have started ourselves.
With my first bb i never took a birthing class n i was gonna do it without the epadural too but the pain was so unbearable to where i had to get it!
Once I went away to college it was happening every day, and then it also started happening right after I would wake up in the morning. I was on Prednisone for the first 5 months after my diagnosis, Pentasa for 9 months, and now I am receiving Remicade infusions, I have already gone through 3. I have been to my dermatologist, gastro, and my pc and nobody seems to know what is causing this. I went tanning for a while but I have stopped.
