Thanks so much Scifigal2k! Great to hear your experiences as while I’m aware of the medical aspect of it, it’s the parenting part with keeping the little one safe from infections that I’m clueless...
Thanks all but I’m afraid you all misunderstood my question! My question is for those who did take humira throughout pregnancy, what precautions (if any) did you adopt for your baby and for how long,...
Hello all, I was wondering if anyone used Adalimumab (humira/amgevita l) throughout their pregnancy up to birth? If so, did you take any particular precautions with your baby having a suppressed...
Thanks a million, great tip! @exit4, I haven't had the operation yet, it's in January. Dreading it, but I am losing so much blood that I am getting blood infusions almost every 3rd month and too...
Yup, I used get mouth ulcers when my crohns was particularly bad. I found bonjela helped and once my crohns got under better control with humira, my mouth ulcers went away....
Hi All, I live overseas but will be returning to my home country (UK) for a bit over a month to get a mucosal flap advancement surgery. I was just wondering if any of you have any tips on what I...
Delighted to hear that you had a healthy full-term baby on the last one! Sorry to hear that you are flaring but hopefully things will improve and the new baby will be happy and healthy too! :-) Plus...

Thanks! I have a GP, a Gastro and an IBD nurse. But it seems that whenever something arises, the most I get is go to A&E. Then I get told something from a random A&E doctor and there is no follow up...
Oh no! I went septic once and it was horrendous, that's awful it happened to you twice! My boss does know and I could get another job, perhaps within my organisation or in another one that would be...
Not knowing what's wrong is the worst! Like others say, at least once you get some clarity about what it is, then you can really tackle it...Also I had severe crohns and with the right medication...
the standard is 2 injections a month (one every 2nd week). But usually they start you off with a higher first initial dose if I remember correctly of 2 injections (others, feel free to correct me on...
Anyone living in the UK who has crohn's and using the NHS? I'm new to the UK and finding it challenging to figure out the NHS and the management of my crohns system (and get NO clarity from the...
Hi fellow cronies! I'm at my wits end and afraid I will make a drastic decision out of desperation instead of rationale. Basically Im having a terrible crohns flare at the moment- complex fistula,...
