iv been diagnosed with crohns 2months ago iv now been on predniso...

crohn's disease can be managed with diet. save the prednisone for when you really need it. there's no point subjecting your body to the harmful effects when you can lick it in another less damaging way

www.lowdosenaltrexone.org I've been taking 4.5mg of LDN for the past five months for mixed connective tissue disorder, which includes lupus, RA & scleroderma. It has helped me tremendously! For a list of doctors in your area who could prescribe it for you, see aso ldners.info. Please consider going on the SCD diet (specific carbohydrate diet), cut out sugar as much as possible, NO ALCOHOL, juice your veggies if you're not a big veggie eater and google "functional medicine" and find the organization that has a database of doctors who practice this type of alternative therapy and make an appt w/ one in your area as well. The saying is absolutely true: YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT...and eating the right things and eliminating everything else, along w/supplements & probiotics will turn your health around for the better! My story is here as well under ajd102 and forgive me if I don't remember when I posted but it was sometime in August. GO SEE A FOOT/ANKLE ORTHOPEDIST (must specialize in foot and ankle surgeries) and get an MRI! I had the same type of pain in my ankle and found spontaneous ruptures in my tendon & ligaments! Stay away from pred and all the best to you :-).
