I am 27 and had the same issues you do with Urgency. I am also on Humira and 6-mp. My doctor put me on Cholestyramine Powder which helped a ton. I take 1 pk in the am in some gatorade and I am good...
I am on 6-MP and have been gaining weight and it is so frustrating because as a woman I do not want to, but I am so happy to say I think mine is from absorbing nutrients so no complaining from me. I...
I would love to look at the site, I am going to tell my GI today that we are going to try for a child. I have been waiting 2 years and finally feel good enough. I am so excited. A little scared but...
isergodur- so when you took the humir while pregnant did you just give the shot in your legs instead of the belly?...
I have that same thing I think. I am 27 and have been married for 4 years so I hear ya girl. It is a pain in my rear (literally). But it doesn't stop me. I am not sure my hubby even feels it. He has...
I take mine first thing in the morning. Then I take my 6-mp at lunch with my other vitamins and then on my humira days I do that in the evening. Seems to work best for me. Good Luck!!!...
I have been taking Humira for a year and a half. I take a shot a week and I am also on 6mp. So far I am doing alright, I feel better than before but not 100% yet. I am getting there though!!...
I just got a letter from my Doctor on my lab results but I am not sure what his wording means...HELP!! "I wanted to send you a brief letter of communication regarding my review of your recent...
I had the same reaction as you did to Imuran. I then switched to 6-mp and after 3 weeks started to react the same way again. I soon got a new doctor and he put me back on 6-mp but I just do 1/2 a...
I just did the prep last week and it was not fun but not because of the taste. It just taste like Gatorade so no worry about that. I wish I could have done 1/2 that day and 1/2 the next. That was my...
Ughhh that time again, I switched to a specialist Crohn's doctor since for a year and a half I could get nothing accomplished and now it is time for a colonoscopy and endoscopy. I am kinda scared I...
That is so strange, I am on Humira too and my feet were swollen yesterday too. Hmmm...
I have traveled a few times with my pen. They didn't bother me one bit about it either time. I forgot to tell the security person the first time about it but they didn't mention a thing and the...
When I do the shot in my leg I ALWAYS get bruising but not in the stomach. After a year of trying to find out what is the best and least painful way to take the shot I finally got my answer. For me I...
Yes, I was premedicated with Benedryl and something else. Something they put in the IV, not sure what it was though. No good still for me, I got the tightening of the chest and red face. I thought I...
I had that same reaction on my 3rd dose. It was about at the 20 min mark or so. I went in the following month to try pre-medicating me and at that same time I reacted the same again so it was a no-go...
Yup it was the 6-MP, I stopped ASAP on Friday and am feeling like a new woman today. Doctor next week to find out what next option is....grrrrr...
Hello friends! I just started 6-mp 3 weeks ago and I feel like I am in a flare now. I just recently developed the red bumps on my arms and a few on the legs. I have watery D but have finally over...
Teacher3- I did a search on this site for Imuran pregnacy and in reading the posts most all said you should not breastfeed while you are on it. I would love for it to be wrong because I want to so...
Well I guess it is time for me to switch on to something different and I am so scared. I am not sure why I have this fear of Imuran, I know nothing about it. I started with Remicade (had a reaction)...
I know it has been over a year since anyone posted on this but I just got my first bad cyst and I believe it is the Bartholin cyst. I was diagnosed with Crohns a year ago so being a fistual was what...
What does an abscess feel like? I just got this thing that is sometimes hard and then sometimes is not. When it is hard it kinda feels like it is in the shape of an egg. I had it once before but it...
I started Remicade as my first treatment option and it did wonders for me. I finally had a hard poop!! I felt good, started gaining some weight back but unfortunately I developed antiboties against...
I have a question for you MishBall2, when you are in remission do you feel like normal with no diarrhoea? I was diagnosed in Nov 09 and wonder if when in remission I should feel like I used to....
Have you ever head of Humira Protection Plan? That is what I have. It is on top of my regular insurance. I only pay $5 for my humira every month, other wise it would be $50. It is a great option, I...
Wow.... we have the exact same stats. I am a 26 year old female that was diagnosed with Crohn's in November of 09 and have been on Humira for about 8 months now too. I was still experiencing the...
I am so sorry to hear about your struggles, it sucks not to feel good. When I started humira they said it takes about 4 months to kick in completely, now it took and is still taking longer than that...
