    Tired of this (warning: pitty party)

    Anyone else just tired of all this? I am just exhausted in general but I am tired of being tired and not feeling well. I am tired of going to the lab, going to the doctors and getting shots. I thought that I had a pretty good grip on this and that I had delt with and accepted it but today I...

    Symptoms returning slowly?

    When I started humira I felt significantly better and since then have been doing very well with the exception of one pretty nasty flare that was for the most part self induced because it was my anniversary and I was determined not to let this crap :lol2: get in the way. Anyway my last shot was...

    Topamax and Imatrex

    So I finally broke down and went to the dr about the migraines I have been having that I am pretty sure are a side effect of the Humira. My dr wants to manage the migraines and stay the course with Humira since it seems to be working. Here's the thing I am looking at the possible side effects...

    What are your favorite food that don't cause you problems? Mine is pho. It is a vietnamese beef broth with fresh herbs and rice noodles. It is amazing and incredibly easy on my tummy. I love it because like this and then they bring you a plate of herbs, limes, peppers, and bean sprouts that...

    I will admit that I have been a terrible patient this last week or maybe longer... I ran out of my synthroid and haven't got around to getting it refilled yet. Anyway it has seemed that in that last week I have been feeling much better as far as my crohn's goes. There are alot of things that...

    Booster round?

    My dr is having a really hard time getting me under control. I will be good for a while but then start getting sick again... the last year has been quite a roller coaster for me. So he is talking about possibly doing what he called a booster round of Humira. Basically doing the starter pack...

    Smile it's Friday!

    I am in the middle of a nasty flare... again and feel like crap. However I am feeling unusually optomistic (sorry my spelling sucks). I know we spend alot of time focusing on what has gone wrong in our lives and what is happening that we don't like, so I thought it would be a nice twist to...

    Just needing some advice.

    I am in need of some advice… not sure where to start this though so I am sorry if this gets a little jumbled up and confusing. Over the past year I have had a pretty rough time. I was extremely sick for the past 2 years, I won’t go into too many details but I was diagnosed with Crohn’s in...

    Migraines anyone?

    Since starting Humira I have been having the worst migraines. They have been getting more frequent to the point that I may have 1 - 2 days a week with no or less severe headaches. Anyone else have this problem?

    As reality slowly sets in...

    It has been almost a year since my diagnosis and all things considered its not been as bad as some other stories I have read here and since starting Humira I am doing significantly better. Thing is that the reality of the situation is slowing setting in. There is no magic cure and no medicine...

    Are we being serious here?!?

    All of my problems have always revolved around the awful diarhea I have had. Constantly running to the bathroom, in pain because I had to go to the bathroom all the time... now I can barely go. Things started slowing down with the introduction of Humira a few weeks ago and I was thrilled...

    So I have been a very bad patient! Got crazy busy for a few days and forgot to take my pills... then got lazy and rebelious and refused to take my pills. Here is the thing though, I have been sick ever since I finished my last taper off prednisone, bloody diarrhea pain, nausea, constantly...
