Update: Went to a neurologist. She thought I either had a migraine or tension headache (even though I've never had either.) She put me on a round of Prednisone (12 days) and rizatriptan. Headache has...
I too am on Humira and I've had a constant headache for about 3 weeks now. I had an MRI...everything was fine. I talked to my GI and he said to talk to my PCP. Now, I'm seeing a neurologist tomorrow....
Hey folks, I've had a headache now for about 3 weeks. I had an MRI this week and the results came back good...no issues. I also only ever get about 3 headaches a year and they subside rather quickly...
I don't have those symptoms, but I do get very tired the day of and after I take my shot. They can't explain why I'm exhausted....
I saw this article online and I'm wondering if anyone knows about this procedure or how I can get more info......

Does anyone else feel like they won the lottery when they have a solid BM?I've won for a couple of days now. (I think my meds may be working!!!)...
My GI's PA said for me to take 1 Imodium per day to help form stools...It has done wonders for me. Talk to your Dr. A lot of my Dr's. patients do this....
I've been on it since mid-January and haven't gained any weight. It's aggressive medicine and it can and will affect people differently....
I'm not sure if this affects any of you, but I read this today about fungal/bacterial growth in steroid shots... http://www.cnn.com/2013/06/10/health/tennessee-pharmacy/index.html?hpt=hp_t2 ...
I started Humira (1 pen every other week) in January and I've never felt better. I too was VERY nervous about the side effects, but I'm getting blood work done on my off weeks. So far, so good. The...
Thanks...it's just that this was the first time in my children's life that I missed one of their functions (other then if I was out of town on business.)...
Well, my stupidity and my disease finally caught up to me. I missed my son's concert last night, because at lunch I ate something that didn't agree with me and I spent the better part of the night on...
Welcome to the forum. I just joined here not too long ago. It's a great resource. I've been on Humira for 4 months now and I already feel better. I too had some severe reservations to starting the...
So last night was rough. I had takeout from a national bread company...didn't eat anything that I hadn't already had. I had to coach youth baseball last night and before I left the house, I had a...
Why no naproxen? I've been on naproxen for months for back pain. Does it impact Crohn's in some way?...
I would never be able to do this diet. I can't eat fruit, vegetables, nuts, or seeds....
I've been on Humira since mid-January...and I'm ALWAYS tired. I thought it was just me, until I talked to my doctor and he said that he's not surprised. Reading forums and talking to people, I've...
I've been on Humira since mid-January. The shot hurts for about 2-3 minutes. I too am concerned about the side effects, but in 2+ months everything is fine. I feel sooooooo much better. I maybe have...
I too went to my GP and they taught my wife how to administer the B12 shots and now she gives them to me once a month. The GI doc gave me a prescription for the needles and I have 8-10 months worth...
I know, it's way too much information...but I haven't had solid BMs in forever. I've been on Humira for 5 weeks now and the other night, I clogged the toilet with a solid BM!!! I came out of the...
My stricture is also in my terminal ileum. I have a hamburger (no roll) or chicken breast and white rice for dinners...I feel great after those meals. Last night, my wife made homemade mac and...
So I'm not following any specific diet, but I've been having success with meat and poultry and white rice, for dinners. I have to stay away from vegetables, as they wreak havoc on my system. For...
Thanks for the tips!! It has been five days now and no side effects from Humira. (I'm tired...but then again...I'm always tired. So, I wouldn't be able to tell if it's the Humira or not.) I have...
I would get the colonoscopy. I'd rather know than not know. Yes, the colonoscopy is not fun, but it's the best way to find out for sure....
Hey all, I just wanted to give an update. A while back I was asking questions about Anti-TNF meds. We (the doc and I) decided that Humira would be the best course to try. Well, I did the initial...
Just had an excellent chat with the folks at ccfa.org... awilliams: Below is some helpful literature to read and webcasts to listen to regarding the latest treatment options in inflammatory bowel...
Thank you for the information. My biggest reason for not wanting to take the Anti-TNFs is the fact that I have children that are 7 and 10. I'm nervous about the fact that I could get leukemia, lupus...
They do think it will resolve the stricture. I'm meeting with them in a couple of weeks to discuss in detail. The Dr. didn't think surgery was necessary at this time. He did say that during the...
Greetings, I'm new to the forums. I've had Crohn's since about 2000. I had taken Pentasa back then...it did nothing. I actually felt better after losing 69 lbs. on a certain weight loss program....
