    Humira and Brain Lesions

    I’ve been having sleep paralysis for around 3 months consecutively, so I told my doctor about it and he wanted me to do a MRI on my brain. Today my mom said she got the results back and I have a brain lesion, and I’m extremely confused on what that even is. Does anybody else have this problem...

    My resection surgery story

    Here is what happened. I got really sick and they told me they need to to an emergency resection surgery. The next day, they explained everything and brought me to the OP room.

    Humors advise anyone??

    Well, I've started humira. I've been through all the medications I can think of and I'm twelve. Let me tell you, I don't mind shots, I don't mind IV's, I don't mind bloodwork, but that humira is AWFUL! It burns so badly! I've never cried getting needles poked in me, but I cried and almost...

    What's going on right now?

    Well, I have my birthday party to go to tomorrow and I feel like crap! I don't think I'm having a flare up, but my stomach hurts! When I'm at school in dead silence, my stomach starts rumbling... (It's pretty embarassing) I'm only 12 and I'm either going to start Humara, (which is an adult...

    What to eat in a flare?

    Hi, I'm 12 and I'm having a flare up. I'm SO hungry, but I don't want to eat the wrong thing and start throwing up. My stomach is hurting really bad and I don't want to add o. To the pain. Is there anything besides broth, herbalife, and jello.
