"F" prednisone..its an evil medication. I was on 80 mg for almost a year. It made me act erratically and bonus, I put on 70 lbs in almost a year. Finally on remicade and off prednisone which took forever to taper off of it. It's a terrible disease but it can always be worse. We need to be grateful for the good things and keep our heads up.
Damn Prednisone did all of that to you? I take it for pain sometimes & it really helps. But since I'm type 2 diabetic, doctors really don't like to prescribe it to me. It raises my blood sugar like crazy 🤪
As a Canadian with free health care, I can’t imagine how hard it must be to have to pay medical bills. I think it’s crazy to be charged for a hospital stay.
I have crohns as well crohns hit me really hard back in 2016 then i told my mom to take me to the hospital i spend 2 whole months in the hospital . The doctors didn't let me eat for 2 months i had to take proteins through the iv and i lost 40 pounds and i got surgery on my stomach . And i still have pain all the time i will make a crohns disease story of my experience on my channel
.
Prednisone Ruined all my joints...I've had both shoulders replaced both shoulders replaced and my left wrist Fused and a plate on top...I got Cataracks and have had surgery on both eyes....on Fentanyl and Percocet now...Spent 4.5 months in the hospital...lost 30 pounds at a time many times....I now have a Illistomy....that means I shit in a bag....I got Crohn's at about 23/24...I'm 65 now....today is 12/27/18....on 12/15/19 I'm having Surgery again on my Small intestine.......PREDNISONE HAS RUINED MY LIFE....I had to Retire at 42....

Spoken so well. Brave and informative for a taboo subject. Good luck
I have had crohns since age of 15, I have had 10 blood transfusions and multiple ops in last few years, however I am back fighting fit walking over 10,000 steps a day, NO medication at all. I repeat that no medication. I used to be on pentasa and predisalone, but i'm not anything at all. At my lowest I weighed 6 stone, but afer years of pushing myself I am fighting fit and in ft work etc..
Thanks so much for this video bud! You described crohns and your journey with it to a T! Glad to know your a fellow traveler on this crohns road. Thanks for your great attitude too ;)
me to madam fellow traveller
a shocker. we have insurance so we pay about 20 cents per perscription. And hospital stays/visits/tests are free. However, the insurance wont cover the injections and for one year its around 120 thousand per year
Thank you for sharing. Keep your good sense of humor an kick Crohn's ass!!!
@mynameisamber369 You would be talking about the Documentary by Phillip Hamer. I have forward your comments to him through his Facebook page.
Thanks for taking the time to view.
Thank you
Beautiful 😍 💪💪💪👌💜
Thankyou
My story since 2010.
Fortunately we have the ACA which needs to cover most of tbe hospital Bills! Healthcare should not be robbing us financially like this... not acceptable and must change!!
prednisone blows man. I started off with 11 daily and reduced by one every week. 15 pills a day isnt too too bad. At one point i was taking 31. Now i take 13. You were diagnosed around the same time as me. And ive also done meds that go where the sun dont shine. Right now if i get any worse ill need injections or infusions. And no offence...losing 40 pounds sounds like god to me. I gained like 15 with the pred and im only 5'0 so it looks like 50 pounds lol. wow the bills are a little of a
prednisone sometimes dont help bcause i used to take it and it made me pee alot and for people who dont understand what the disease is i will break it down for people ok crohns disease is an autoimmune disease that causes pain and discomfort to the patient and low iron and watching what we eat and taking medications to help with the symptoms and the running to the bathroom constantly everyday it is a constant battle we go thru even celebrities also have the disease i didnt know it and if u have any family members or friends with the disease g to an appt go with bcause it will u better understanding and we cant eat other peoples food reason for this we can get food poisoning and get our stomach pumped and u really dont want that and pls dont judge us for a disease that cant b helped
Valeshia Lloyd don’t forget about the sexy Moonface side effect. Crohn’s Disease is Shitty!!!! 🥴

I'm thinking I may have the same. I had a endoscopy done but everything was fine. I've been dealing with this for two years now and I feel like a walking corpse.. I'm getting a colonoscopy done by my GI next week and hopefully they have answers. When I was younger I was overweight and then I began eating vegetarian. But I also have vitiligo. Since the age of 11.. I wonder if it most definitely has something to do with it since it's also an autoimmune disease.. who knows 😔
The pain is unbearable though... I weighed 185 before I got sick with stomach pain.. over the course of a few years I was down to 130. I've been trying to put my weight back on ever since but then I get these flare ups and I just can't... I feel you man. Luckily I have insurance now.. I didn't before so that's why I didn't do anything about it. It's also cause financial complications for me due to having to work and live with this.. been in and out of jobs. It's terrible man
@samibee8834 Hi there, just wondering how you're holding up now.

Great video 🙏 BTW: We are curing Crohn's. Some members of our community already believe they are cured.
