Thanks for that link!
And good to hear from other people out there in similar situations, make sure to keep us updated
I have my colonoscopy appointment next month (gee, lucky me) and will be asking my Dr more info about pregnancy/ going off the meds (??hopeful) etc
Hi All,
Well i've had a many doctors visits since i last posted and am feeling much better about things. I have seen a new Gasto who was very nice and i've seen my OB again plus had some blood tests done and have a Nucal scan booked for next week.
The Gastro has put me back on Imuran 150mg daily, and is slowly weening me off the Prednisone over the next few weeks. I explined that i wasn't sleeping very well on the Prednisone and was concerned that i was going to wear myself out before long. He also thought the same thing and didn't want me on them any longer than i have to be. My OB is happy for me to continue with this course of treatment as long as my Crohns dosn't get any worse, in which case i will have to go back on it. It doesn't appear to be getting any worse and i certainly feel a lot better in general. I'll be 12 weeks this Friday so i'm over the sticky bit......lets hope everything settles down and goes to plan.
My Gastro pointed out that i was well overdue for another colonoscopy and wants me to have one about 6 weeks after the baby is born...looking foward to that!
So all in all i'm not doing too badly.
I hope everyone else if feeling good also, talk again soon
Hi Sandy,
Yay for no Pred!!
Did your doctor mention anything about breastfeeding? Because being on 150mg of Imuran also, this is a concern of mine (well, it will be one day!)
I have my colonoscopy on Monday (gee, lucky me!), and I'm hoping for positive results and then to see what my Dr thinks about cutting down (or to stop taking) the Imuran... just to trial how I would cope with a lower dose...
How is your pregnancy going Sandy?
Well I had my colonoscopy and my Dr only talked to me quickly (I have an app with her next week). Apparently my Crohn's is inactive (yippee!), but I also have a stricture. Boo, was a bit upset about that. I hope it's not too bad, will ask my Dr next week. The stricture really makes me wonder if it is worth going off my meds. The possibility of getting sick again and making the stricture worse (or getting more of them!) isn't a great prospect.
Boo.
Why does it have to be so difficult??
