Crohn's Disease, Acute
"I&#039;m a 40 year old male just recently diagnosed with Crohn&#039;s Disease. I had an MRI done and the doctor found an abscess on my bladder due to Crohn&#039;s. He put me on metronidazole (Flagyl) and ciprofloxacin (Cipro) for 30 days. The side effects for me are mild but weird. The Cipro gives me very vivid and intense dreams when I sleep. The metronidazole has many more effects: metallic taste in my mouth, altered sense of smell and taste, diarrhea/soft stool, lower energy levels and no sex drive. However, the side effects of the antibiotics are much milder than the effects of the abscess. It&#039;s not a fun combination but it&#039;s working well for me!"
