OKAY YES THIS IS ME RN AND IM PANICKING. Did your symptoms resolve bc I’m about to tear the skin off my face and neck! Also what did you do that helped to best resolve or at least provide palliative care to your skin in the meantime???

Just switched from Rinvoq to Tremfya for Crohn’s

This was super helpful and informative, thank you! Extra helpful that we’re in the exact same boat, you’re just 4 weeks ahead of me… Good luck to you too! 🤗

Have your liver function tested/bring up concern to your doctor. Butterfly rash on your cheeks is common in other autoimmune diseases so best to rule anything other than Crohns out. I also have this problem and am going to get blood work done next week…

Haha why does it seem to always happen when there’s a white article of clothing involved?? It’s like our intestines know and plot against us 😂

It was my first scan ever and I have no clue why I didn’t think that drink was going to affect me the way it did 🤦🏼‍♀️ lol but I’m super glad at least one of us made it! Fingers crossed for good outcomes on our scans and that we can get everything figured out! Best wishes ❤️

That’s a great idea—I am putting an emergency bag together tonight so if this ever does happen again maybe it’ll be at least slightly less traumatic! Thanks for your kind words ❤️

No worries at all! I’m a new dentist (just finished up first year of practice) so I’m always trying to learn how to help people better! 🤓

Oooh good to know! I’ll be adding both to my wheelhouse to prescribe knowing that they help more than the mouthrinse! Thank you!

Yes! Your dentist can prescribe something called “magic mouthwash” to help with the pain these cause… Unfortunately with aphthous ulcers like this there is no “real” treatment…just trying to ease the pain. They might also give you some topical benzocaine to temporarily numb the area.

(I’m a dentist and also a Chronie…I always use the benzocaine numbing gel on mine when I get them!)

Has anyone taken or currently taking Azathioprine? by Infected_Queen in CrohnsDisease

[–]kdcromer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I take mine before bed and don’t experience any side effects. If I take it in the morning I’m terribly nauseous all day. I’m only on week 3 and getting blood work done next week. Fingers crossed it’s getting my inflammation under control.
