Thanks for the help guys. Doesn't seem quite so strange now. I do have another question though, if I'm only recently 20 years old and already going to be on Humira & Imuran after being diagnosed in...
Anyone take both of these at the same time..? It seems odd to me to be on two drugs that both lower the immune system but I'm tapering off prenisone again (I've been on humira for two and a half...
thanks for the advice guys. maybe i weaned off the last 10mg too fast, but i was on it for the end of oct all of nov, all of dec and almost all of jan... seems like a long time to be on it. no other...
i had one for a month and a half with no issues for TPN & antibiotics... my dad had one for 3-4 months while on remicade and his was infected and got into his blood as well and turned septic and was...
has anyone started on humira and then gotten worse before getting better? I just took my second does(2 shots, first dose was 4 shots) on tuesday and this has been the worst i have felt since i was...

I did not read most of this thread, but sleeping for many hours is common when depressed, and so is not eating much. I did both when I was younger and depressed. Although you could be quite happy and...

I haven't yet found out all what is going to bother me or not bother me since I was recently diagnosed, but one thing I might be afraid to ever try again is chocolate chip banana bread. I love it and...
I don't there there are any that are safe for everyone, it depends on the individual. Maybe you could ask if the one you took before that didn't bother you would work well for whatever strain of...

Opps, I got IBS and IBD mixed up. My bad!...
Crohns is a type of IBS. I would see a GI doctor and see what he says. Second opinon is always good, and one from someone specialized in the area. A lot of those symptoms can be IBS, I don't know if...
Try not to let the internet scare you too much.... All the people with really mild cases of it don't come posting on the internet how great they are doing. It gives a sense that everyone with crohns...
Private will pay more, and I assume for how hard it is to apply would depend on the company, but from what I hear most arn't too bad about it. Like Tag-a-Long said they are not forever though. I...
I was kind of afraid to walk my dogs for a while at first and had my dad go with me to take our younger dog while I took the elderly one. Now I've just been walking them with my left arm to avoid...
If asacol can cause hair loss, then I assume Pentasa can too? If I understand correctly they are the same drug and just release at different times. I'm just asking if anyone knows because I just...
I unfortunately don't have any advice for you, but i understand how it is. I didn't have much of a choice but to tell my work the details of what was going on with me because I had to miss a few...
Thank you for the advice =) Damaging or pulling the picc line is what I was worried about, I just didn't know if working out would cause concern for that or not. I've never been through this before...
How bad is the pain when you don't hit just fat? I didn't really have any fat before crohn's (5' 5" @ 115lbs, could see the outline of my ribs) and i've lost more weight from it the last few weeks,...
I was diagnosed with crohns almost 4 weeks ago and spent just over a week in the hospital. Had a hole in my intestines that was leaking out, and an abscess outside the intestines where the hole was....
Would love for you to keep posting your experiences... Humira is what the doctor is recommending I start on after I'm more healed up from this episode... My first one, spent 8 days in the hospital...
