I have been taking Humira for two months and I am feeling good. I am able to eat most foods and have an increased appetite(I will probably gain weight, but, don't need to). Before I started taking it, I was treated for H. Pylori, which was discovered during an endoscopy. I was being checked for acid reflux and started taking medicine for that. About two weeks after the antibiotic treatment for H. Pylori, I had a flare up of arthritis pain in my foot, my hand joints, and my neck. I ached all over. I ended up getting a pred pack, which worked immediately. I started Humira two weeks after that. I was actually feeling better after those treatments and before Humira. Keeping my fingers crossed. I might add that, my symptoms were not the typical Crohns signs . I had arthritis flares, constipation, and eye pain (Iritis). I had an ulcer in my colon/ilium; some mouth ulcers, etc. No stomach or abdominal pain, and, no diarrhea. Also, lots of body aches, especially while sleeping. I had to get up and move a lot. I only slept an hour or two at a time. Once I moved around, I could go back to sleep for another hour or two.
I enjoy reading this forum, but, some articles are confusing and beyond my ability to understand(the medical terms and studies). However, for the most part, it has been helpful and reassuring.
