Guest guest Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 First off, hello everyone. My name is Chris. I am a firm believer in God, love Jesus, my beautiful wife of 6 years, and my adorable son who is almost 2. I am 25 and was diagnosed with CD in Oct 08. The " D " started in Sep 08 and just wouldn't stop. Then the vomiting and weight loss began. I was 185lbs in Sep, by Oct 08 I was 141lbs. Four trips to the ER and I finally got to see a GI and ended up in the hospital for a week. Discharged on 40mg/day of prednisone and 2 weeks rest at home. Dec 08, back to the ER after beginning Imuran. I became violently ill again and dropped another 10lbs in a weekend. GI starts me on Remicade then quickly switches to Humira. At home another 2 weeks, back to the hospital. Now at 120lbs. Sent home on full time TPN, 300mg injectable cortisone. Now Jan 08, 132lbs, down to 100mg/day injectable cortisone, humira, 9mg entocort...... I have RESEARCHED SCD extensively and want to do it!!! My question is...Is this the best time to start it? The cortisone has the " D " down to 3-4 times a day but I don't know what will happen when I come off of them....I know I will make it through the intro diet just fine and could probably eat anything on the diet now. Any guidance, recommendations would be greatly appreciated! God Bless!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
