I was not given meds before the diagnosis. It took me three months alone to have the GI appt. I was given my first set of meds, after my colonoscopy and first hospitalization (long story). I would...
I also leave it out of the fridge for approx. 45mins to 1 hour. I called the Humira number and they said you should leave it out for about a half an hour. I never had a bubble thou. I've had bad...
Too scared to try the stomach, for some reason I feel that it would hurt more in that area. I take two shot per week, one each in each thigh. I don't ice the area and it doesn't hurt that much. It...
Hey there, to add to what kazbern said, you should try and think back if you have had any other symptoms. I never realized until I was diagnosed that bad pain on my lower right side was related to...
hello there, I try to tell as much people as I can about Humira --to alleviate the fear of taking the shot. It is a very scary and intimidating idea at first. I had a mini panic attack waiting in the...

I have taken both Remicade and Humira. Remicade June 2010- Dec 2010 Humira Jan 2011- I'm currently on Humira, and in my opinion I liked Remicade better. I really shouldn't say that thou because it...
Barbara, I really sorry to here that you have to do your prep all over again. I know from experience that preps can be brutal. I'm 18 and so far I've had two colonoscopies. Both times I used a bottle...
