Dear fellow sufferers

I have been on Humira for 2.5 years with Mercaptopurine. I have started to flare due to the usual things eg. stress. Does anyone know what I could add in to stabilise things, other than diet and less stress? Are you allowed a Remicade on top to reduce symptoms?

Any thoughts welcome ....

You should/could check if you have developed antibodies to humira which is a blood test. Depending on the outcome of that, it may be an option to double the frequency of the injections (i.e. weekly instead of fortnightly).

I would suggest mesalamine oral and rectal retention enemas.
What are your symptoms?
