What was the outcome and cost? Did insurance cover it? Any info would be helpful.
Thanks!

    My older sister has Crohn's. She has been managing the
    illness for over twenty years.
    It is possible for Crohn's Disease to go into
    remission. However, most flare-ups are handled with
    oral meds, such as Lialda (a form of mesalamine)
    Prendisone (such as Depo-Medrol), & Azulfadine.
    There are many new drugs used today to treat Crohn's.
    My sister was only on IV meds once, and that was when
    she was hospitalized and dehydrated.
    Insurance does pay, your doctor has to tell them why you
    need IV meds as opposed to the orals.
    This was our expericence. Hope this info helps you.
