Post: prednisone has destroyed my daughter's life

Posted by Margaret O'Neil on 4/09/12
My daughter was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease at the age of 12. Her doctor acted like it was no big deal. She would be admitted to The Children's Hospital and given large doses of prednisone and no ood for two weeks at a time. (numerous times). We were never told of any side effects. Once when my daughter told her GI doctor how depressed and nervous she was , he sent a youn psychologist to see her. he said we needed family counseling. It was only a short time that my daughter (now 36 yrs old) was diagnosed with a chemical imbalance (Bipolar Depression, OCD, BPD, Anxiety Disorder). Her's and our life have been a living hell, in and out of institutions, hospitals, jail, homeless, and near death more times than I can even recall. I, her father, daughter, and she would be more than willing to enter into a class action suit.
