Not to mention the drugs. I've been informed recently that the treatment that works best for me (Remicaid and Imuran combination) has been found to cause a nasty form of cancer in a small percentage of those taking it. I tried going with other options, but then the usual Crohn's symptoms flared and I was back to being sick and tired of being sick and tired. I've gone back to the original set and will take the gamble.
