Daily Living with Crohn's Disease
Received a call about a week ago from a doctor in my GI's office. He was wondering if I would be interested in joining a drug trial for Crohn's Disease. There is basically only one big gun drug left that I haven't tried and it's similar to the last two I was on that ultimately didn't work. Not only did the last one not work, but caused my Lupus and growth. This drug is in Phase 3 and has been successfully used for Psoriasis. It is human made and is given in injection. The Trial is a Placebo, Drug and Drug at a dosage right based upon your size. After the initial 6 weeks you can join the trial and continue in the medication you were receiving or stop at anytime. So, I am going tomorrow to find out more information. This drug has some side effects that make you worry, but I guess they all do, just some more than others. I would only try it and continue if I felt significantly better. So I will let you know how it goes. More information to come.
