Hi Toni,
I'm sorry to hear you are still in so much pain. Congrats on trying to
quit smoking. Keep it up. I know it is hard, made worse when you feel
so bad, but in the long run it will be good for you. I'm still having
good luck with the Asacol as well. I am sorry about the Reds. I was
hoping they would make it, but there is always next year. Are any of
the meds you are on an antidepressant? If not, you may want to consider
one as they can sometimes help with the pain as well the depression. If
you are on one, sometimes the dosage needs to be adjusted or a different
type may need to be used. I know when I was on Zolof I felt worse, more
agitated and depressed with no pain relief, but since they changed me to
Remeron, I have been much better. The worse side effect of the Remeron
is weight gain, but with the Crohn's I have not felt like eating much,
so this has not been too bad a problem for me. Take care and God bless.
