As long as you aren't experiencing negative side effects from the injections, then I would keep going. Good luck to you!!...
Prednisone is usually used when you are flaring. Once the flare is in remission, you can ask for Uceris which is a maintenance drug taken once a day. It is a steroid, but doesn't have all the bad...
We are not pessimists, we are being real! I have had this awful disease for almost 30 years, so please do not call me names when I have taken every drug, been through hell, and there is still no...
I have had UC for 28 years and it's the same old drugs, same old flares, and same old nothing helps. I am convinced we are lacking a protein in our gut that is causing these diseases. I am no doctor,...
Water is good with or without food! Ask your doctor how much you should have a day, the amount depends on your size. For me, I am up to 116 pound and 4-8 ounce glasses of water is what I need and...
I took 3 rounds of Humira (4 shots in one day called the intro shots, then 2 shots 2 weeks later, then 1 shot 2 weeks later) and my joints hurt so bad, I got to the point that I could not walk. Had...
Thanks!...
Can you please tell me the brand of Vitamin C you are taking? I would like to add this to all of my other natural supplements. Thank you...
I was on Uceris for 2 years and never had a side effect. I flared and my Gi put me on Humira, it was a nightmare!! Going back to Uceris as soon as I am through with Pred taper. Sorry for your...
I had a flare and used EnteraGam for 2 weeks, my flare was gone and I was gaining weight. My doctor gives me samples. It is great stuff! I mix it with my morning oatmeal and it tastes great like...
I would try Entyvio before Humira. I took Humira for 6 weeks and had terrible joint pain. Pain so bad, I could barely walk. It is still in my system and I am on Pred taper to ease the pain. Never...
I would call your doctor and inform him or her of these issues. Just to be sure you are ok. Good Luck!!...
Humira causes many side effects. I had to stop taking it. Maybe try another Biologic? Talk to your GI....
How old are you? I am 49 am have hot flashes from menopause. Black Cohosh helps, but its not a cure all. Try your GYN Doc. I am on Prednisone off and on and I have them with or without the pred. Good...
I would get tested for CDiff. After that is ruled out. I would insist your GI dr. put you on more UC meds. Like maybe, mesalamine enemas, suppositories, even prednisone taper to get it under control....
My two cents, my 24 year old daughter lost all of her hair while on UC meds, prednisone, Asacol, antibiotics. I have experienced some hair loss with prednisone, but not as bad as my daughter. She has...
Humira gave me terrible joint pain. I cold barely walk after the 3rd round. I had to stop them and now I am waiting to see a Rheumatoid dr. Humira not worth the pain for me. I would rather have a...
Are capsules or juice better and how many mg?...
How much Nopal does one take?...
I would go to your GYN. GI doc won't be able to help you with this. It sounds like something not serious. But having it checked out won't hurt and give you peace of mind. Good Luck!...
Hi, I am looking to purchase some DHEA. Can you tell me which brand is best? I am looking on Amazon. Thank you...
I understand. My daughter who is 24 developed UC about a year ago and she blames me. I hate this disease! It's not my fault and she will not even talk to me now. I have lost my most precious. :(...
Thank you!...
Yes, I know it just covers the problem. I am going to a Rheumatoid Dr. very soon. I hope I don't have that on top of UC. Not sure what this joint pain is yet. It really hurts. Taking hot baths with...
Thank you. I have insomnia anyway, so I guess I will survive. I believe I have RA or MS. I will find out soon. Pray for me and I always pray for all of you. :)...
I have been on it many times in my 20 + years with UC. I am sorry you had so much trouble. I hope you are feeling better....
Thank you! I did that yesterday and I feel a little better already today. Could this be from the Humira or am I developing RA?...
Uceris worked well for me for about 2 years, then I flared. BTW, it is a steroid....
pb4, is the Humira giving you joint pain, and/or swelling?...
Thank you all, I think I will take it all in the am....
Yes, like I said, I took the Humira and I have all of the side effects, but no disrespect, but that doesn't answer my questions. My questions aren't so much about Humira, but about RA. Thanks though...
I have to start prednisone today and it is a taper, with 4 10mg a day for 7 days and on down. Do I take all 4 at once or four throughout the day? It doesn't say on the bottle....
I have ulcerative colitis and started Humira. I was on it for 3 rounds and I immediately started having swelling in my extremities. My GI dr. stopped the Humira because the swelling and then the pain...
Where and how do you order this?...
Yes, it is mostly my joints that are in severe pain, I am swollen in legs, hands, and abdomen. My GI doc did an ultrasound of my stomach and found nothing. I hope the 2nd opinion helps me. Thanks....
I just returned from my GI doctor. He said I shouldn't have this severe pain from Humira. He referred me to a RA doctor. He gave me an anti-inflame med. He said Humira is for helping RA, not making...
I was told if you have UC, you cannot take Celebrex? What is Medrol?...
I did Humira and the swelling and pain in my joints was far worse than a flare. I stopped the Humira 2 weeks a go and I was told the side effects would remain for up to 6 months, Never again! I will...
I am going back on Uceris. It worked fine for 2 years, then I had a flare and tried Humira, big mistake! What can I do to ease the pain in my joints and what can I do to get it out of my system...
Thanks. It has been 2 weeks and I read online it takes 5-6 months and that scared me because my pain is a 10 on a 1-10 scale with 10 being the worst. I can't be in this pain for 6 months or even 6...
Swollen and severe pain throughout most of my body, mostly joints and muscles. Someone please who has been on Humira and stopped it due to side effects, please help. Thanks...
Please can someone tell me how long it will take for the side effects to go away after stopping Humira?...
Yes, I have tried that. It didn't work. Thank you....
My doctor stopped the Humira. I am waiting for a phone call from him about what to do next....
I have great UC relief, but my whole body hurts so bad, I can barely walk. I don't want to go bac to prednisone, as it makes me literally insane, and I have literally tried all other UC meds and they...
Thank you. I am just about to give up on any of them. I feel so swollen and mostly in pain all over. I would rather have UC symptoms, or just take nothing and let it run its course. I am tired....
Bacon Girl, so the simponi caused you swelling or Humira? Sorry, you said easily pick simponi over Humira, then said simponi is the only biologic you had swelling with? Just confused, can you...
No, I cannot get to a hospital every 2 months. TY though....
What is the difference in Simponi and Humira? I have been on Humira for about 6 weeks now and I am having severe, painful swelling. My doctor did labs and they were all good. I am still very swollen,...
I had steroids through IV as soon as I went into labor. It is a matter of life or death. Breastfeeding is dangerous for your baby when you have been on these UC meds. Just my experience when I had my...
