Crohn's Disease, Maintenance
"Hi I&#039;m a 47 year old male and have had crohn&#039;s now for 17 years. I&#039;ve been taking one sachet of pentasa in the morning after breakfast. I realise I&#039;m pretty lucky as I lead a normal life, enjoying a pint or to with a curry etc. My only issue from time to time is painful cramps from my back passage, this happens during the night and can last anywhere between 15 mins to an hour, this happens maybe once every 2 months. I have not had any surgery so I&#039;m very greatful for pentasa as it seams to keep my Crohn&#039;s at bay. I from Scotland and get my medication prescription free."
