Question
i was diagnozed with chrons disease many years ago,and put on meds pentasa asacol and prednizone,etc even remacaid too nothing helps i have had a colonoscopy again ,this time no sign of chrons is that possible if so why do i still feel so bad,and it has been a long time since that colonoscopy [2 years] if i didnt have chrons shouldn"t i feel better.what could it be help.

Answer
Hi Joseph,

I am so sorry that I have not responded.  I have not been on my computer as I have a very ill dog and have had to travel quite a distance to a town where she will be having surgery.  Again, I am so vert sorry.


Apparently the medications have been working because you do not have any active fistuali. You still have crohn's disease but there are no active abcesses.  That is wonderul!  See your doctor and ask him/her for different meds or stronger meds.  CD is forever, it does not just come and go...be patient, take the meds and you will be as normal as possible.   Please take care!

Odette
