Suggest Treatment For Crohn S Disease
I have suffered from crohns since 1988 . I am lucky because my first resection of the small bowel was in 1988 and the second was in 2012. Ian reasonably in good health. The drugs that I am on are azothioprine and loperamide ( 8 tabs a day) . I like to have a few whisky and lemonades in the evening but I get extremely tired after I have eaten. Half an hour later I feel slightly better. I have absolutely no stamina to go out in the evening unless I lay down for a least an hour in the afternoon. Can you help

Hi,
Chronic conditions can be associated fatigue either secondary to the condition itself or related to anemia that is due to the condition. You should consider having both a complete blood count and thyroid function test done (low levels of thyroid hormone can cause fatigue).
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Michelle Gibson James, General & Family Physician
