Pentasa
My Crohn's treatment began with Pentasa also known as 5-aminosalicylic acid or 5-ASA. Pentasa is an anti-inflammatory that acts only in the digestive track which means there should be fewer side effects.
I had some trouble with Pentasa. I started off with six pills per day and the nausea was awful. I cut back to three pills then added one pill a week until I got back up to six. The nausea got better but my symptoms did not improve after a couple of months.
Time for plan B.

- I have Crohn's Disease. I have reached a point where I feel as though I am no longer in control - of my health, my emotions, my life. My outlook and attitude have suffered as well as my relationships. I am going to write this blog for me. I need help organizing my thoughts, I need some perspective, I need some control. Hopefully someone finds it helpful. Twitter: CrohnieTweets Tumblr: crohnie.tumblr.com
