Was Humira effective for you?

I've been on Humira for 10 months, and 7 months of 6mp; as a combo they work well together.

Last few months have been the best I've felt since on Humira. I maintain that drinking alot of water everyday relieves constipation and moves everything through my colon in a timely fashion. I'm curious, how much water do you drink everyday?

Humira worked great for 3 years for me until I developed anti body to it.

I started Humira in February 2014, not on anything else with it (either allergic or non-responsive to traditional oral meds) I also have IBS (which I developed about 14 yrs in to having crohn's) so I didn't feel back to normal even when the scope showed inflammation was clear in all my affected areas (crohn's colitis, so it was affecting my colon and rectum) so I asked my GI to up my Humira from biweekly to weekly in September 2014...I got horrible headaches but a member on the UC form told me to use antihistamines for it and it works like a charm (I take it before bed the days I do my shot).

I had a nurse come to my home to show me how to do the shots on myself...it's helpful to leave the pen sit out til it gets to room temperature (about 20 minutes) this helps with the stinging the cold medicine causes....some people also ice the spot they're going to inject to make the little needle feel completely painless, it's a 10 second long shot so I just bear with it and don't bother icing my thigh (regardless if you take it biweekly or weekly, the nurse instructed to alternate doing the shot in each leg).

No problems so far but I haven't been on it for that long, just a year and a half...no major issues other than the headaches.

Humira didn't do a thing for me, but since Remicade never worked, it would have been frankly astonishing if Humira had. It seems like by the time I finally started the biologics, my disease had become too severe for them to be effective.
