My highest dose this treatment was 200 mg. Then I stated to wean down by 5 mg every few days then when I go to 20 mg everyday, they started to wean me down by 1m http://www.medications.com/effect/view/41652?item=20128 Thu, 28 May 2009 10:43:04 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/41652?item=20169 I have crohns which was thought to be uc for many years, and have been through all the drugs you mentioned, mesalamine enemas are no good for crohns as they relieve the lower bowel, why haven't they given you mesalasine tablets?? Any way as the lady above http://www.medications.com/effect/view/41652?item=20169 Thu, 28 May 2009 13:39:21 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/41652?item=20182 I looked at Cushings and it looks exactly like the symptoms of being on prednisone. That is weird. I will check with my doctor tomorrow, but all of this started with I dropped the prednisone to 30 mg so I am almost positive it is that. Small bowel follo http://www.medications.com/effect/view/41652?item=20182 Thu, 28 May 2009 22:45:52 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/41652?item=20206 You mentioned Knee and leg pain. I have Cronhs and I had the same thing, constant pain in my feet and legs. Do you have swelling and bruising as well in your legs/feet/knees? If so you could have Erythema Nodosum. It very painful and is often the worst http://www.medications.com/effect/view/41652?item=20206
