I might try to be off it for a couple of days. The rash seems to be spreading slowly. Maybe there was no aspirin in Salofalk? So that's why I never had a problem with it. Thanks so much for the...
I developed an itchy rash in my lower abdomen and I'm currently taking only Pentasa and Pantoprazole. I've been on Pantoprazole for over 4 years non-stop and even though I know it could cause a rash,...
This is the first time I hear someone had a really bad rash in their butt crack and this is exactly what happened to me on Humira. I had it for months and I managed to get it under control with some...
I don't remember the dosage but I was on it for three months while waiting to start Humira...gotta say it really helped me! And before starting taking metronidazole I was on cyprofloxacine for a...
Hey everybody... I've been on Humira for about 11 months now. After three months I noticed that from time to time I cough a lot without being sick of anything like that. It would usually last for a...
Hey :) About psoriasis...I don't have it on Humira but here's what I know. You can develop it while on Humira/Remicade and in most cases it goes away after taking the med but it takes time. On the...
Hey there :) I started taking Humira last year in February. I would usually either get the rash the day after receiving Humira - but it was on my arms and it would go away after a few hours, or I'd...
I wouldn't trust the label hehe because they tend to leave out a lot of things... If I were you, I wouldn't tan on Humira. In my hospital they warn people to stay our of the sun while on Remicade...
I will definitely talk to my doctor about this. Thanks for answering! I would have to agree with you on Imuran and sun not mixing. I've never had any allergic reactions to sun while I was on Imuran...
So, you had both the burning face symptom and a rash on your arms, right? How bad was it when you got off it? I realized just yesterday that the face and arms rash and burning is characteristic for...
I don't know if there has been a thread about this but here I go with my problem. I noticed about two months ago a red rash on my arms a couple of times but it went away in an hour and didn't have a...
Thanks everybody for posting! I'll definitely try some of those things :)...
Thanks for posting! :) Maybe I'll try the thigh shot! ...
Hey, sorry for not replying two months ago :( I've been really busy with college. Nope, haven't tried the injections on the thigh. I've been given steroids on the day of the application for about 8...
thanks everybody :)...
Hey everybody :) I haven't been here for a couple of weeks because I was busy. But now I'm faced with a problem. I have been having a small rash on my belly every time I get Humira so I just wanted...
The muscle and joint pain could be just a CD symptom, BUT it could also be Humira... :( Have you ever tried taking vitamins or Ensure? Or B12 shots? You can read about B12 here:...
Hey :) I started taking Humira two months ago and so here I go with my experience. I don't use the pen, I get injections and I don't give it to myself. It lasts about 30 seconds as you can control...
I didn't say the only time to do surgery is when you're dying but that it should be the last resort, when you're either dying, have major fistulas problems and then I said "and stuff like that"....
I agree...it's their job! And they are always in disagreement with gastroenterologists. But the truth is that they don't really know much about CD...a gastroenterologist knows that surgery is the...
OMG I'd die if a doctor told me such things :mad: Honestly, I think you need to get second opinion(s). Doctors should opt for surgery only as a last resort, when there's really no other option, when...
I am so sorry you're going through this :( :( :( It's like having this disease isn't enough, but we have to worry about getting the right treatment from our doctors :/ Can I ask you where you are...
Definitely true! But that doesn't mean that you can't have both at the same time...you should do the HPV test, if you haven't already. I wish you good luck with everything!...
That's true, you do have it in your body forever and the thing is that a lot of people aren't aware that HPV also causes breast cancer, so keep that in mind too. There are different types of HPV and...
you being in shape is of no importance because when CD hits you you lose a lot of vitamins, become anemic, and things liek his happen. check all of the options. I'm sorry if it's Humira :(...
I started Humira 3 weeks ago and I've experienced feeling a little bit off balance for a few days and each time felt like I was getting a flu, but it stopped pretty quickly. But, I have experienced...
They tend to give methotrexate and azathioprine/6MP because it slows down the making of anti-bodies to infliximab/adalimumab. That's the problem :( I don't think you've made a mistake quitting...
When I entered my 3rd year on Imuran, I started losing hair (my case is not as bad as it sounds). But I had quite a lot of hair so I still have quite enough left. People don't even notice it all that...
The person above said she should maybe switch to Prednisone. I just said that Imuran is safer than Prednisone and in Europe they do let women stay on it while pregnant, and that if she starts...
haha, could be :))) we'll see...
Where did you hear that prednisone is safe during pregnancy??? That is so untrue! Those are steroids and steroids are dangerous for both you and especially for your baby when you're pregnant. Taking...
Hey! Were you taking anything else with the steroids? Like pantoprazole or something like that? 6MP can be really hard on the stomach so maybe you haven't felt it until now. Pentasa does have...
Thank you all for your support! I'll keep you posted! :) I haven't had any big side-effects like allergies or stuff like that that people get. I just feel exhausted for a few days after getting...
I get your point, I really do, but I also have to disagree on certain things. It seems to me that her dad hasn't been in her life all that much, so I don't see that being a dad was hard on him?!?...
Hey everybody! I know I haven't been online much. I was really busy studying. :confused: I just wanted to let you all know that I chose Humira over Remicade. We started it 2.5 weeks ago. I just had...
I've been on Imuran for over 2.5 years now and I've been put on Humira 2.5 weeks ago. My doctor told me she would keep me on Imuran for 6 more months because Imuran slows down the making of...
Hey there :) Maybe it's terminal ileum. Is it right next to your belly button? Like a little bit under it or a little bit on the right? Because that could be the reason your throwing up at the same...
First off all, it's sooo stupid they want you to go on Remicade!! They're not doctors! Those are similar drugs, but they're different. Needless to say that Remicade didn't work for you and Humira...
I'm sorry to hear that :( Are you sure you want to be off meds right now? I mean, having a stricture at the end of the colon is BAD and it won't go like this forever :( I wish I could advise you on...
When I was diganosed my GI told me I had to take Salofalk, that I'd be all cured in a matter of months and that Crohn's could return in like 10 years time but that it probably wasn't going to. :mad:...
I was told by my doctor to have to take it while I was on Sulfasalazine. Since Mesalazine and Sulfasalazine are very similar (not the same of course) I was told to continue taking Folic acid while...
I'm really sorry if the things I wrote above scared you. I was just so sad to hear that a 18 months old baby got CD (possibly got CD) that I just wanted to give you as much information as I could....
I'm really sorry to hear this. I sure hope it's not Crohn's disease. My advice to you is to learn as much as you can about this disease - about the symptoms, about the medication, about the vitamins...
I take it around 2 or 3pm after having lunch because that's when I eat the most. It's just really important that you eat enough before taking it so if you eat most in the morning take it then, if...
Maybe you could try paracetamol for the pain? I take it because my doctor told me it wasn't going to be as hard on my CD as other painkillers. I try to stay away from any other painkiller. The...
Here's another link about folic acid which says that B12 and folic acid work together to regulate the formation of red blood cells and to help iron function properly in the body....
The Mayo clinic doesn't say that ferritin level are related to iron only. It just explains what Ferritin is. B12 alongside B9 (folic acid) helps iron function properly in the body. Sometimes it's...
B12 vitamin indirectly does affect your Ferritin. I'm sorry if you don't believe me. :) Try surfing the net. It's not an information that you can easily find, unfortunately. I take Imuran and folic...
I totally get you hehe naps are heaven!! And I definitely agree with you on the Folic Acid - it's hard on the stomach. I usually take it with Imuran after lunch because it's not on an empty stomach...
You can get Remicade side-effects years after you've stopped taking it...sad but true :( And you can start taking it again at any point (in 2, 5, 10 years time, whenever) but the side-effects are far...
