I know that someone here is has chrons and I was curious if you had heard of this drug they have recently put dh on. Its called pentasa? The dR put him on it a week ago and now he has to go in for a ct scan then in a month they will do another scan to see if it is helping.We finally after 3 years have a doctor that is doing more than saying here have another pain med.He had stopped even going to see any doctor for a while and I was worried he was making himself sicker by not getting any treatment. I had to yell, threaten, and tell him I would proclaim him no longer sick if he wouldnt go! They have him on a great deal of meds at the moment. A bacterial antibiotic for his current infection, nexuim for the corrosive ar, pentasa, and some time release pain meds that dont turn him into a stoned drooling heap. He had no oppreciable results to steroids 2 years ago so they didnt keep him on them past 3 months time. I have read good things about pentasa but I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with it. With a new med comes new hope that maybe he can get somewhere near normal again.Also the fear of new dissapointments should another med not work.
