omeprazole only? anyone else?

i was diagnosed in november stating inflammation in my esophagus and colon leading to my diagnosis.. i was given a prednisone taper that i finished recently and omeprazole 40mg to take once daily..

i called sometime last week asking when would treatment start for long term and expressed the concerns i had and was only told that they’re sending in a new prescription for prednisone and sounded clueless on treatment options. i was literally told “i’m not sure but ill have a new prescription of prednisone sent in.”

i refuse to take prednisone again due to the way i was so close to mania especially being 4 months postpartum and going through the daily battles of hormones and depression. prednisone just made it so much worse and i was even looking up ways to off myself. i would never do something like that especially after having my little one but that scared me. i was having constant breakdowns and my mind felt like it wasn’t even mines anymore.

i told them that i wont take it again and she said she’d tell my gastro.

also when i first started prednisone and asked if it was safe.. i was told theres no risks so i googled up the symptoms myself. im glad nothing happened because i missed a few days due to me cleaning and misplacing them but im 21 years old. i refuse to take that devils tictac again.

sorry for the rant but im only taking omeprazole now and wondering if anyone else is the same?

i keep hearing about biologics and it was never discussed with me so i have no idea what that is😩
