I'm starting Humira next Tuesday and naturally I am apprehensive - not so much about injecting myself but more so of the results. The last few days I have had an intense pain in the area of the ilieum, a sharp stabbing pain that had me doubled over and in tears. No other usual symptoms, no...

:applause::applause: Fantastic news Joan. Now go out and party!!!:banana:

I was finally approved for Humira today. It feels like I have been waiting for years but in reality only a few weeks. Nevertheless, I managed to lose another 4 kg in those few weeks and am feeling pretty ****** right now. I'm having my first dose next Tuesday and can't wait even though I am...

Hi Massa and Sue from another newbie to the forum. We are lucky to have found this place. My best wishes to you both.

I was very pleased (and surprised) to find this amazing forum yesterday that I had to become a member. I am from Cyprus and somewhat of a rarity here as a Crohn's patient since the disease is not that widely known here. I was diagnosed back in 1998 and prescribed Salofalk (Mesalazine) which I...
