Humira takers

I finally got my first Humira injection at the hospital last Thursday. I was waiting a month! For my prescription services to get it to me but wound up flaring in between remicade and the Humira so I received it in the hospital. I'm home now, and I had a rough last few days due to a low pulse rate. Lots of calls to the oncall doctors and basically Humira is the only thing that was out of the norm and could possibly have caused it. I was just wondering if anyone else had this same problem?
I did get the bruising from the injection and the soreness in the one leg but the low pulse was the worst!! I just was hoping it was a one time thing and not something I'll get every injection. Any experiences with Humira I'd really like to hear about

Not that many Uc'ers are on Humira. Perhaps you can ask this on our Crohn's forum as well.

For me personally, if the Remicade fails me I am done. I don't even want to attempt Humira. I've had this too long and my fight is gone.

I wish you'd made an "I don't know" option to pick as an answer. I've been on Humira for almost 2 years now, am doing ok. I honestly don't know if this will be my last step prior to surgery- who knows what's going to happen???

Humira was my last drug. It did not work. I having surgery in two weeks.

I know there are other alternative options I could have tried, but you get to the point where you are just sick of being sick. I am steroid dependent and refuse to stay on prednisone any longer. It is such a nasty drug. I am actually more excited than nervous about the surgery. I think about all the things I had to miss out on the past year and a half. UC is something that is always on my mind. After surgery I won't have to worry about missing out on an event because am sick. I am ready to graduate college, get a job, and plan my wedding without having to worry about UC.

I am not on Humira but I have thought about this a lot. I don't think it would be my last step before surgery. I think I would give worm therapy a try, fecal transplant, LDN, triple antibiotic therapy, Clinical Trials... I don't see any reason not to try these things. At the same time, some may say any of these treatments are just buying you time and surgery is in the longer term outlook, and they are probably correct. I just feel like UC is unpredictable but I went into remission unexpectedly recently, it could happen again. I would hate to remove my colon and feel like there may have been a way to save it. I wouldn't have surgery unless I was in a long flare with no remission and I felt like there was no hope or that my long term outlook with UC was bad/headed towards CC. I am not saying everyone should feel this way. As I said, surgery may be the best decision, it would eliminate the UC and all of the 'what ifs' but it does bring about it's own challenges. If I ever get to that point, I could give you better feedback.
