I was wondering if anyone knows if humira can cause me to break out? I have never really had acne or anything, maybe an occasional pimple during PMS or if I forget to take my make up off before bed....
So... I chickened out. I couldn't do the shots and had to have my husband do it for me. Then I sat and cried b/c I was ashamed of myself for being a wuss. Maybe one day I will be able to do it, but...
Tomorrow is time for dose #2. I am a bit nervous since this is the first time I will be doing it all on my own. As far as the medicine goes, I generally feel a LOT better than I had been - BUT, I...

In MOST cases Private Long Term Disability isn't permanent. Usually, it only lasts for about 3-6 months depending on the coverage and based upon length of employment. It's usually just a coverage for...
I am the WORST when it comes to needles - completely terrified. If I can do it, you can do - trust me on that one. Hitting muscle hurts. It's not as bad as say, having an IV inserted, but you'd much...

Sometimes I do make my own sauce and meatballs, but sometimes I just use the jarred. It really just depends on my energy level. When I finally do make homemade sauce I try to make a HUGE batch so...
thanks I am hoping I can handle giving myself shots. I suck at taking pills, I just can't remember multiple doses a day. :(...
baked potatoes! for some reason whenever I have a flare the ONLY thing I want to eat is potatoes. Today it's baked, but yesterday it was mashed. Even french fries work for me as long as they are the...
I know that Crohn's and associated meds can cause joint pains, but do any of you experience any other kinds of weird pains? For example, feeling like you have a pinched nerve in your rib cage when...
Hi- I have been lurking around the forums for a little while (since my latest flare started back in May.) My name is Kari, I am 38 and I was diagnosed when I was 16. I had 18 inches of my small...
