I also have it in my esophagus as well as my stomach and throughout my large intestine. I have to agree with you that the feeling of something being stuck in your throat is awful and the ulcers are...
I also went through something similar. I was back and forth between the GI and OB/GYN. The person who ended up helping me was a dermatologist. She said basically my skin was tired of all the constant...
I had the same problem, began flaring while on the bi-weekly shot, was upped to weekly shot. That worked for awhile and then once again started flaring. Then I was moved up to two shots a week and...
I was on methotrexate for almost a year, when I was stable I got off it and 9 months later got pregnant with my son. I was off it for over two years after he was born but due to humira not being as...
I e-mail my dr all the time. He is very busy and somethings do not require an office visit just an adjustment in meds or a new script . I will say we did not start e-mailing until he was familar with...
LisaLee-Thank you so much for responding!!! I cannot tell you how relieved I feel now that I know that I am not the only one taking this high of a dose. I was really starting to second guess my Dr,...
I did one shot every other week for awhile, then he changed it to one per week. Did that for a year or so and now he just upped it to two shots a week. And he added methotrexate....
Does anyone else take two shots of Humira a week? Just trying to confirm this dose for my own peace of mind. The pharmacy I go to, Humira (the protection plan hotline) and some on here seem to be a...
Chris-I was taking Hunira bi-weekly but it wasn't enough, so I have been on weekly injections for at least a year now. And now that isn't working, so I am guessing that is why he is upping it to 2...
I agree with Valerie. It does sound exactly like a UTI and cranberry juice helps ALOT. Get to a Dr. Do you have an immediate care clinic by you? They are faster than a dr's office but don't take...
When I had this problem back in March the Dr scoped me and found ulcers in the throat and stomach. If I do not feel better by next week he is going to scope me again. He is hoping by upping my humira...
Ivy-Yes I have the joy of ulcers there now. I will never again take for granted how wonderful it is to eat and drink things without wanting to scream my head off!!! It is bad enough that our diet is...
Wondering if anyone else has Crohn's in their esophagus? How long did it take the ulcers in there to calm down/go away?...
Is anyone else out there taking two doses of Humira and 25mg injectible methotrexate a week? Just wondering what to expect. I have taken methotrexate before and have been on one dose humira a week...
I had the same issues last year, in both areas. I saw my GI and my Ob and finally my GI sent me to a dermatologist. Just like you I had tried everything. It turns out I had irritiant dermatitis from...
I live in Crestwood and I see Dr. Ali Keshavarzian at Rush hospital on Harrison in Chicago. I absoltuley love him and he came highly recommended. He also has an office in Skokie. I cannot say enough...
I am humira and use the pen. It does hurt like @#%*. I have to agree with everyone else that it's the medicine not the needle. Some injections hurt worse than others but it ALWAYS burns to some...
I know this sounds weird, but it works. When I was pregnant my GI suspected that some of my meds got stuck in my throat and dissolved there. He gave me carafate, which is a tablet you take for...
They are not really funny things but they sure are nice. My husband will cut my food up and my sons no matter where we are if my hands hurt really bad. He also will taste something I want to try...
I was not on remicade during my pregnancy, my GI took me off it until I was done breastfeeding. However, I can tell you I had my son at 8:10 in the morning and by 10:00 that night I was in a full...
I feel your pain. I just went through TWO months of sore bum and pooping razor blades. The kind of sore that you feel like you are going to throw up or pass out from the pain if you have to go to the...
