    Inflammation VS flare ?

    Hi everyone, I recently had a CT scan that showed some inflammation in my ileum. I was diagnosed with Crohns 8 years ago and have been on Humira. If there is inflammation does that mean I'm in a flare? Thank you

    Hi...just wondering if anyone has Celiac disease in addition to Crohn's?

    My dr did a scope and found additional inflammation in my small intestine. It was biopsied and found not to be Crohn's. So I'm having blood work for Celiac disease. Thank you

    Crohns or IBS. I have Crohns but how do I know it's not IBS? Ugh!

    I was diagnosed 6 years ago. Went on Humira for a Fistula. I don't have the typical Crohns Diarrhea except for my first flare and all my blood work has always been fine. I have bad anxiety and depression. So I get so confused. The past 2 weeks I have had joint pain everywhere and very fatigued...

    Humira and depression :(.

    I have been experiencing very bad depression and mental fogginess. I have been on Humira for 5 years. When I speak with my pharmaceutical company they do as if there are any physical or mental changes. I do have mental changes. Do you think this could be related to Humira?

    Is adding Imuran or 6mp to Humira more dangerous?

    I'm currently flaring while on Humira. I'm scared that my GI DR will want to add 6mp or Imuran. I heard from one of the top GI Dr's in the United States that this is more dangerous.

    In a flare :( while on Humira.

    I'm currently taking Humira 40 my every 2 weeks for the last 5 years. I'm in a flare I had an injection last Wednesday that relieved my symptoms about 70%. My Dr wants me to take another injection in 10 days not 14. Do you think that will get rid of the rest of my symptoms?

    Does your flare start with unexplained nausea?

    I'm wondering if I'm starting a flare because of this constant nausea and pain around my bellybutton. Just wondering if anyone else has this too.

    Why cant I just have my Crohn's removed? Its been in the same spot for 4 years!!

    I know surgery is the last option but I just dont understand why I cant just have the section of inflammation taken out. Im on Humira and am not in complete remission. I still have inflammation. Why wait until it gets worse.It has been in the same area for 4 years now. These meds make me sick...
