I just wanted to post about my Humira experience so far. I had my induction injections, which is 4 injections in one doctor's visit. I was flared up during this time which was this past Wednesday. It has only been 4 days and I am almost completely back in remission. I am so surprised and happy with these results and I hope it keeps up. I am ending all other UC medicines in one more week, so I will only be on Humira. I will keep you all updated on the results after I stop the other meds which are still in my signature. Thank you.

Glad you're doing well and I hope your success continues and reach a solid, long lasting remission. To that end, I wouldn't be that hasty on dropping all of your other medications so soon. At minimum, keep the rest the same for a month or two and then slowly taper off things one by one. After all, it's possible a combination of those things is giving you this improvement.

have about a weeks worth of enemas and suppositories left. My doctor is the one who said when that is gone, just use Humira. I am not sure what else to say except that is what he wants me to do. I am sure if I start showing symptoms again after those meds are gone, he will give me something else. Thank you, but I feel like I have no choice but to listen to him and see how I do.
