Hi Ginny,
Funny you said yu had a seizure today. My 34 year old sister has had a
severe case of crohns for 12 years, she now has a permanent colosotmy,
she never really took care of herself. She has had seizures or years,
she takes dylantin for a long tie.
They never really said it was ever for crohns disease. My son has been
diagnosed with IBD 3 years ago, and so far h has been lucky, the Asacol
so far is helping him, but I worry about him alot!
Please let us know what your dr said. The pain clinic did tell me that
when I go off Neurotin, you have to go slow, b\c you canhave one! I hope
you are doing okay!
Take it easy,
Toni
