6mp vs Humira vs Remicade???

6mp didn't do much for me. One side effect was uncontrollable crying or moments of intense sadness for two to three seconds. I'd be watching a TV commercial and I'd see a slightly sad thing (aspca or save the elephants) and out of know id start crying without tears. Now I don't recall if this was only when I was on 6mp or 6mp and prednisone but definitely an odd side effect that I didn't notice until years later after discussing something else on an unrelated illness.

Prednisone - 'moon face' they say from water rention, roid rage it's a real thing, terrible acne after a few months and the oilyist of skin. I also got gynecomastia on both sides which required surgery. Imagine a man growing breasts, how terrible. Also hair loss and the thinning of hair, this seemed to be temporary and growth eventually returned to normal after the treatment was discontinued.

Remicade - your body doesn't heal, even the smallest of scratches that normally would take 3-4 days to heal now stays red and tender for a month, very strange but that's actually the desired effect of the drug. Outside of that I didn't notice much but imagine what's happening to parts of your body that we can see or feel??? This was by far the most effective treatment for me and my UC. But after Obamacare it became difficult to get and found myself pleading with my insurance company every 8 weeks to cover the cost. Big stressful Bastos and I worried about the coverage.

My advice if you haven't tried this already is to give up all refined sugars. This includes sodas, energy drinks, pieces of candy out of the candy jar at work, sweet tea, sugar packets in coffee/tea at restaurants , sweet pastries, desserts, terraki sauce, etc. having giving up these I've noticed two things; ive lost some belly fat(whoop whoop), I don't have mucas in my stools.
The craving for sweets are still there(I have sweet tooth) and it's hard to not cheat but I'm tired of bleeding out of my rear and the discomfort of always having the feeling of full bowels. I hope this new diet works for me as I don't want to take medication. Also don't under value sleep , put the phone down at night and get your zees. Facebook will be there in he morning!
