QueenOfCrohns

837d

I have crohn’s and my hands and feet fall asleep little every single day… it’s become normal to me, but I have a feeling it’s not normal. My doctors know about it but never really do anything about it. I’ve seen a neurologist and other doctors, but no one seems to be concerned. It’s frustrating because I wake up in the middle of the night to get up and deal with my feet falling asleep and it always happens at the worst times. I can’t sit down without it happening. It’s less frequent in my hands but it happens there as well. I’m on Stelara for my crohn’s so if it is a crohn’s symptom, why are my meds not helping it? Anyone else deal with this?

      I’m on stelara and I’ve noticed this recently too. Just that my hands and feet fall sleep faster than they used to

      @Smitty crohn’s and it’s meds can cause peripheral neuropathy so I’m thinking it’s probably that.

      I think that has something to do with circulation which can be related to breathing. Not sure about underlying cause though
