Hi my name is Jessica an I was diagnosed with Chrohn's on 3/4/08....

Dear Jessica:
I've been on prednisone for a long time and I know how you feel. Your skin will return to normal after you discontinue prednisone. You should definitely put the Crohn’s disease into remission. Change your diet, reduce your fiber intake. High-quality (professional-strength) supplements are also of crucial importance, as the cheap, "A-to-Z", all purpose, one-a-day" vitamin tablets aren't going to come close to what our bodies need. There's a lot of useful info (including on Crohn's disease) on the following website:

Be well, and if at all possible, stay away from corticosteroids as their side effects are many and far reaching.

hi...the acne as long as you do not touch it will stay for as long as you have the treatment...stay away from fatty foods, eat the right foods, excersise and if you can steam and sauna helps....the acne is the least of your worries...for three months you might gain maybe 20 pounds....so watch your diets....no sugars and specially no salts...the moon face stays...good luck....(I have been in this medication for 14 months between 100 mgs per day and today going down to 20....I still have the acne but not too bad!!...the weight went from healthy 140 to 190)....

hi,

YOU CAN USE TEA TREE OIL TWICE A DAY. IT REALLY WORKS ! I WASH MY FACE WITH DOVE SOAP IN THE MORNING AND NIGHT AND THEN PUT THE OIL ON. I HAVE GOTTEN EVERY POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECT THT GOES ALONG WITH TAKING THE STEROID MEDICATION AND THIS OIL IS WORKING. THIS IS THE ALLTIME WORST DRUG WITH HORRIBLE SIDE EFFECTS BUT IT IS HELPING ME SO I KEEP TAKING IT

GOOD LUCK!!!!
