I feel for you n your wife...n also everyone that posted. I was diagonsed w coitis a year n half ago. Wound up in hospital on intervenous antibitics cuz oral ones tore up my tummy. But as soon as they put me back on oral ones the pain n fevers came back. I am a believer in God and Jesus Christ so i called the 700 club for prayer n took communion after that n I git better from that point on. I have been fine fir this whole time..yr n half but have been under alot of stress so im having a flare up. Im praying again for the Lord to heal me but i have also been learning about the use if essential oils for healing. There are 12 biblical oils and then many others..about 200??Well i just ordred a blend of oils called Warrior. It is a blend that is antibiotic like...after one use my tummy felt much better. The company is online and the name is Heritage essential oils. You can also look up all their oils for other ailments.They are a christian company and fairly priced.Essential oils are definitely God sent. And are getting very very popular for healing. A friend of mine has had many great results herself and now helps others with them as I am also telling others about them.God works thru all things whether its medicine or herbs or oils. I encourage you to look up the oils and try them and I pray they work for each n everyone of you.God bless!
Hi,
My boyfriend has been diagnosed with UC just 3-4 weeks ago. He had a flare up and has been in the hospital for 3-4 days twice. In the hospital they put him on 4.8g of mesalamine and 60mg of prednisone. After that they put him on 1.6g of mesalamine and 40g of prednisone. It worked for couple of weeks but now he started having fever at night so they put him on 2.4g of mesalamine and 40mg of prednisone. Will see how this one works. This has been the 3rd night on this dosage. I feel like this dr are not caught up on their readings. There are so many studies that say that higher dosage of mesalamine works better on flare ups. The fever is most than likely to be because of the inflammation. So I think when they would figure that out and put this people on the right dosage the "miracle" will happen.
I'm sure you are really frustrated, I know I am!!!
Good luck and much health to your wife!

Hi Zumba,
I suffer from Crohns/Colitis. I am currently in a flare-up and some of my symptoms include fever, chills, night sweats, fatigue. I am currently on Humira and Methotrexate, which have helped reduce the symptoms, but I am still getting the occasional low grade fever and night sweats. I have seen Infectious Disease doctors at two different hospitals and they could find nothing, so process of elimination pointed back to the Crohns/Colitis as the instigator. So it could just possibly be that the flare up is causing the fevers and Tylenol is your best option to use as a fever reducer.
Especially since she already has one auto-immune disease she might want to see a rheumatologist for a work up. Fevers can be a symptom of things like Lupus and sometimes rheumatoid arthritis. This will at least rule out anything in this area.
