    • About Me

      Hi everyone my name is Jacob (I'm really only 11) I just joined this it's my first time on a crohn's support site.I need help But my doctor (Dr.Christopher Justinich) wants me to take immuran I've heard that it can you give you lymphoma. There are also other meds he suggested like remicade, methotrexate, and the elemental diet. I also have a G-tube.The three months before I was diagnosed with crohn's I was very severely sick & did not eat ANYTHING for the whole entire 3 months.

      Thanks! That's what I've been thinking...it seemed like the more I've been "weening" off the steroids, the pain actually lessens each night... But my doctor, because of the pain, just had me taking steroids longer. I told my mother today that I think it's better the faster I get off them, I had a feeling it was the steroids fault. It just didn't happen the last time I was on them. So good to know someone else thought the same!

      I have severe crohn's disease I have been on plenty of meds so you can ask me some stuff.

      Treatments

      Azathioprine Somewhat Helpful
      Not the best on it. I get nausea I find it doesen't work to good. I have heard hat it can give you lymphoma also.
      Azulfidine Considering
      I was on it for a for about 2 years but no I would say it does not work very well.
      Prednisone Working / Worked
      I go on this drug whenever I get really bad, But it has stopped me from growing a whole lot. It work very well.( it does have bad side effects you may want to look it up before taking it)
