The next investigation to try to find out what is wrong with my feet is a bone density scan. Steroids are often prescribed for crohns patients as it reduces inflammation. Unfortunately steroids can also weaken your bones. In case it is a bone density problem resulting from repetitive steroid usage, I am taking a high dosage of vitamin D tablets and have been told to spend as much time in the sun as possible (most of your vitamin d is actually made by the sun). Vitamin d aids calcium absorption which is necessary to re-strengthen bones. I want to spend time in the sun (how fab is that for treatment!) but find it difficult when Im running around after a 2 year old. I cannot relax, I cannot sit in the sun (seb is normally running in and out of shade, or in and out the house), so I cannot do as my doctor requests. I know I have to put my son first, I always do, but it would be nice to take care of myself too. Its often a decision I have to make. Do what is right for my son or for my own health? Long term, my health is important but that often negatively impacts seb in the short term (if Im not able to take him out/ spend quality time with him). What would you do? X
