Crohn's drug cocktails all around...



Today's altered book page focuses on the ridiculous amount of drug cocktails and their awesome side effects. I have been on no less than 23 different prescriptions this year alone. 23. That number alone makes me even sicker. I have sat through numerous doctor visits and drug consultations because of the side effects. I have been hospitalized twice because of a drug that gave me pancreatitis. The latest drug has given me diabetes, could give me kidney and liver failure, has made my face swell to a pillsbury dough boy shape, has given me a mysterious red dots, and has made my hair go running from my head. Any infection I get could lead to sepsis. Really I can't help but think WTF?
