Pentasa side effects and misdiagnosed?
I recently went in for a colonoscopy.
Never had any real issues before having it, and now i cannot eat anything..
I was prescribed Pentasa. Since taking I’ve had massive headaches, sore neck, breathing issues, stomach cramps and can’t without major backend issues. About a month or so.
I stopped taking the Pentasa.. headaches, neck pain and breathing issues immediately gone.
I think the 12 biopsies taken and the prep for colonoscopy is what has caused all my issues.
Shortly after starting Pentasa I took myself to emerg as I had what appeared to be a ton of blood in my urine- they diagnosed bladder infection, however I use a catheter and have had several before. Nothing like this. It did go away with antibiotics.
Maybe I’m in denial, but I had the colonoscopy to rule out blood clot root cause.
I stopped all food for 3 days and am now slowly starting with soup and toast.. so far so good.
I did a bunch of blood tests and decal tests but I don’t know what the key result is to diagnose Crohns and the doc is so hard to get ahold of. Next appt is end of May.
Anyone else in the same boat?
