Completely understand. There is nothing more devastating to a mother then watching your child suffer and you can't do anything about it. It took my son having to be house ridden for almost a year for him to realize he can't eat anything he wants to eat. That is the worst thing that can happen to a 20 year old. Depression set in. I talked with him all the time. He would call me crying in the middle of the day asking me to come home from work. I have a wonderful employer so whenever he called I was there for him. He needed to know someone was on his side. After a few failed drugs, he is now on Stellara for about 6 months. He was doing 40mg doses of Prednisone too. He is now down to 15mg. He is doing much better but still has his days. He knows life can be good. My advice for any parent of a child of this age is to be there for them at any time of the day. This is a life altering disease and when he was diagnosed at 18 he thought his life was over. Now he is 21 and doing well. We are figuring it out together. I wish the best for you, @hayder71, and your son.
