[QUOTE="MickyFinn, post: 1289853, member: 280643"] I know, it often depends on where you live as to whether certain treatments or drugs are available. I know for a fact that pumps are not available in my area. I also have Crohn's disease, and have had very nasty reactions to every drug I have been prescribed for that so I said no more. Earlier this year I was offered something called methotrexate which used to be used to treat terminal cancer patients, but is still offered before far newer and safer Crohn's treatments because it has been around for ages and is dirt cheap. I said no way and have actually been drug free for Crohn's since 2012 without issue. They know ow exactly what a similar drug called azathioprine did to me, yet if I experience a flare up, I have to risk my life taking methotrexate before I would be given option of something that might not kill me. And that is no exaggeration. [/QUOTE]
