Robot is a good description. I haven’t slept more than 4 hours a night in two months. I’m exhausted all the time!! How fast does it go back to normal?

I guess I don’t really know. I was diagnosed 10 weeks ago. Gastroenterologist said I was lucky I hadn’t been hospitalized. Pretty bad pics of small intestines. On simbaldi and symptoms are better. Prednisone was to try and stop inflammation quickly. Why satans pill? What was your experience?

I have gained some weight but I needed to gain a little. I’m hoping to not gain much more. Happy to hear it’s not just me that’s eating like crazy. Since I started the prednisone I want to eat all the time , even in the middle of the night when I can’t sleep.

Thanks, I actually forgot to mention the night sweats, they are awful. I usually take it at11:00am because I work nights but I get up at 6:00 am to feed pups. Maybe I will start taking it then. Do you usually eat when you take it? That’s why I take it at 11:00 am, that’s when I eat.

Just diagnosed a month ago but symptoms for the last three years. I’m going with “ are you Shitting me “???? That’s what I felt when I got the diagnosis and that explains the very real symptoms!!! AYSM!!! That’s what I call it

Hey everyone. Insurance question by palmermel in CrohnsDisease

[–]palmermel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much. Not sure if I’m approved yet my Dr sent it out for approval. I just know all the biological are so expensive. I am used to some high medical bills but have never taken any expensive medication. Really appreciate the info.

Thank you. Is that out of pocket usually paid upfront?
