Oh no! My husband has taken a few Stelara injections but this has not happened to him. Have you heard back from the doctor yet?

In agreement also. Emily, I was so sorry to hear of your father's passing. My own precious father passed away unexpectedly last month, so I have been grieving too. I started following this "Painful Story" thread a couple of years ago and your dad is the one person I've kept up with on the...

Praying for you, Ron, that the Humira WORKS!

Thanks so much Ron! So far, so good! Will keep you posted. And how are you doing?

Thank you Penelope-Marie, and I apologize for not replying to your comment sooner! I suppose you are finished with your course of Flagyl? How are you feeling? My husband is starting Remicade -- right now! We are at the infusion center and he is getting his first treatment, so I hope and pray...

Well... I surely am sorry to hear all this. Your children are blessed to have a good father who cares about them, so stay strong! Praying for you.

Awww, little Elisha is just adorable! I knew she would be! Thank you so much for putting up her photo. Your mother looks sweet too. :heart: Continuing the prayers for your family & situation.

Nativesith, somehow I had missed your last few posts and am SO sorry to read all that has been happening. I've been wondering how you were doing. You are in my prayers for everything you are experiencing. I am so very sorry.

I forgot to update on my husband's GI appointment. After hearing the full story, his doctor agrees that he is probably reacting to the Humira and does not want him to risk a third reaction, given the severity of the second one. So he extended the 5 day course of Prenisone to two months, at...

Penelope-Marie (what a beautiful name!), thank you for the comments. I agree, it IS confusing... and it sounds like your situation is also. I am on here making notes of things to remember to ask at DH's appointment this afternoon. He is doing SO much better now. He hasn't needed a pain or...

Thank you, My Little Penguin, for the reply! I am so sorry for what your son has experienced; nothing is worse than seeing our children suffer. My DH has only had about three short episodes of this overwhelming pain and nausea in the six years since he was diagnosed, so this is not normal...

So, my husband has had two doses of the Humira so far. After the initial dose of four shots, six days later he developed severe abdominal cramping that lasted from afternoon til about midnight, then it gradually eased off. He had his second dose of two shots on Friday night (two days ago)...

We never got the simulator pen, and our Humira Ambassador said she is in Kansas City (we're in SC), so a local nurse came out. But we've been getting phone calls from all over the place... it's confusing! And Humira sends REALLY nice educational materials via Fed-Ex (I think, or maybe it was...

My husband just took his first Humira dose on Friday - four pens! They sent out a home health nurse to teach him how to use it, so that was nice. He did great with it -- minimal pain -- and has not had any side effects so far. I will pray that all goes well for you, since it's your fourth...

Clash and Layla, thanks so much for your words of wisdom! He's not needed surgery so far (although the GI said he will unless things get under better control), so hopefully the stricture is from inflammation? I hope the strictures are not, as Layla suggested, from being inflamed for too long...

I should add that, obviously, I realize we should speak to his GI - but it is just difficult to get messages through - we'd have to go through the nurse, and this just seems like something that should be discussed more thoroughly than over the phone. He has a follow-up appointment scheduled...

My husband's GI wants to start him on Humira to try and get him into remission. (He was diagnosed with Crohn's about six years ago and has been on Entocort ever since, with Pentasa recently being added.) His colonoscopy in January showed that he has a stricture that has formed since the...

So heartbreaking to read. I am keeping you in my prayers.

It certainly is! Please don't give up, your children need you.

Matt82, I am so sorry about your fever! Have you called your doctor yet? Saying a prayer for you right now.
