Hey, pb4. I wanted to check in with you and see how the Humira is working. I hope it's helping to control your symptoms and heal the fistula.

Snow in September??? Faaaaaaaack.

Hi fruitgirl and quincy,

I'm actually now going to be using Humira once/week instead of every 2 weeks, I still have some frequency and urgency yet I get very constipated or hard to pass stools cuz I'm still able to pass my stools but holy cow it takes a long and uncomfortable time doing so...BUT I'm happy to report that my fistula feels completely healed, had a scope a few weeks ago and the report didn't even mention the fistula, showed some scarring and mentioned that there is some mucosal healing so that's good but I'm still not where my GI and I hoped I would be so we discussed increasing my Humira to once/week so I will be doing that starting now (today is my regular scheduled shot and from here on out I'll be doing it once a week which I'm not looking forward to actually doing but if it can put me into a full remission then I will lol.

I'm going less for the most part but will still have days that I have to "go" as much as 8 or more times/day, usually those days there's less constipation feeling but on the days I go less I suffer with more of a constipated/difficult movements...it's like I can't win for losing lol. I'll be seeing my GI for my follow up on the 29th of this month.

And yes the SNOW!!!! Oh how I hate the snow and cold, we had a pretty good summer for the most part but lets face it, technically it's still summer and yet out my windows I'm still seeing overcast with snow falling like it's the night before Christmas and I'm not a fan of this weather lol.

I have actually posted on some of the threads in the last few days...I keep an eye out on a daily basis here at HW, I just don't post daily though but I'm still around.

Thanks for asking guys, hope you're both doing well?

Thanks fruitgirl!! Me too, I hope upping the Humira does the trick for me but I'm not holding my breath, just keeping my fingers crossed lol.

Aw, kids are so fun, and it's always extra interesting having one of each (male and female) they can be so different from one another and they're always full of surprises. Glad you're still doing well for the most part with your UC and able to get it under good control when it acts up more than usual...stay well!
