I was diagnosed with Crohns in 2005 and am 34 years old. I am currently on Family Medical Leave from work as a special education teacher due to a flare with my Crohns this spring. I am now taking humira and my Crohns is mostly back in remission.
My problem now is coming off the prednisone I have been on for months and at high doses in the hospital. As many of you know prednisone is wonderful for how it helps people, but also a "necessary evil" as I call it due to the side effects. Right now my head feels heavy and foggy, I am very fatigued, and my legs feel heavy. In short, I feel wiped out.
My questions are:
Does anyone else have these symptoms?
Has anyone found a way to help the Adrenal Deficiency symptoms without going back on prednisone? I have been put back on to try and help, but when I taper off symptoms come back.
Any thoughts?
