So I've been in hospital now for 2 weeks with a bad Crohn's flare up. Unfortunately there is something wrong with my liver function so can not start on infliximab which was the ultimate goal. They've put me on an ng tube which I'm getting used to but have a sore throat and keep gagging on it and it makes my chest feel tight ( I'm asthmatic) Are there any tips on how to stay motivated with the tube, and how to deal with not eating solids whilst everyone around you is. Also I'm on predisolone steroids which I've found is making my skin dry and hair brittle as well as coming out. Is there any advice for this also.
