Hi,
Crohn's patient - diagnosed late 2016/early 2017. After a few trial and errors (including a few rounds of prednisone) I was placed on Stelra, a biological therapy.
I was in remission for two years, which was wonderful!
For the last month, i was flaring on and off - at times pretty severely. I've since been placed back on prednisone for an 8 week course (40mg to start, weening down to 5 mg over the 8 weeks.
I'm really keen to try and combat some of the extreme symptoms/side affects that I experienced on the last round (weight gain, moon face, insomnia).
Any thoughts or suggestions? Especially for fluid retention and weight gain?
