I am takings Asacol and have already been on Prednisone 3 times. My Dr. is trying to get my insurance to cover either Humira or Remicade...still waiting. I just started taking Imuran and it concerns me a little. I am looking for people to talk to that understand what I am going thru.

I’m With You
I know how you feel. I had to buy a few pairs of more comfortable pants and shirts to work in. I will be decreasing mine to 25mg on Saturday. I decrease by 5mg weekly until I get to 20 then I decrease by 2.5mg. At that rate, I'll be on it for ever it seems. Not really but I am so tired of it. I hate the shaky feeling. Which, reminds me, I haven't taken my meds yet. Gotta go and take them. Cya. mgdennis34 (have a great day)

Close Crohn's Disease & Ulcerative Colitis
Hospitalized with a GI bleed and diagnosed Oct. 2007 with severe UC after many years of being told I had Irritable Bowel. I am tired all of the time and my meds make me have headaches and nausea. (I think I have the "Poor pitiful me syndrome") Although I try not to feel sorry for myself because I know there are others that are worse off than I am. It's really hard to deal with a disease that people don't understand or really want to talk about, especially since it involves your bowels.
Treatments
- Asacol Somewhat Helpful
- 1200mg three times a day - no side effects, but not so sure how much it helps
- Prednisone Working / Worked
- Presently on my third round, staring at 40mg a day. It causes me to gain weight every time and I feel sore all over while I am taking it :(
- Humira Considering
- Waiting for my insurance to OK
