Guest guest Posted June 6, 2003 Report Share Posted June 6, 2003 Hello Everyone, I suffer from crohns and had my 4th remicade infusion last Monday and managed to get my prednisone down to 13mg, but the week before my infusion I wasn't feeling good. So my doctor told me to increase it to 15mg. Last Tuesday, I was hit with agonising pain with vomiting and bowel movements together (now - doesn't that sound like fun). So I spoke to my GI the next and he told me to come and see him on Thursday. I AM NOW BACK UP TO 30MG PREDNISONE!!! And I was told that I have a build up of scar tissue and intestinal stenosis. If I am not wrong, this is from the remicade. Can someone on who receives remicade tell me if I am right? I am feeling no better and everything is still the same. Terrible pain, vomiting, nausea, plenty of bowel movements. I am so ready for surgery, but I think my GI is against surgery. I am seeing my GI again on Monday. I am looking more and more into alternative medicine. Love, Sarah MSN: sarah_krein (feel free to add me to your MSN list) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
