Well, I can't help with success but I can tell you that i am currently 11 weeks and on imuran and Humira. Imuran is a class D drug but all 3 of my doctors ( I have my OB, my specialist gastro and regular gastro) agree that the benefits out way the cons on this. It would be worse for the baby for...

I actually did have a cold when I started. Might just be random coincidence

Thank you guys for the responses. This has helped ease my mind a bit.

Hi I am new to imuran and I have been getting labs done regularly. The latest my dr mentioned that my wbc was low but not too low to be worried just need to adjust meds. Is this a common thing for this drug? I'm going to touch base with my dr on my next visit but he just mentioned this to me...

Wow your story is a lot like mine I was just diagnosed in sept 2015 via ct scan and it was a complete surprise. I did end up having a resection in November because mine went from bad to worse a lot of it due to waiting and honestly now that I think back I think I had been sick for a while but...

I did this prep the other day. You will start going. My directions had me doing all 64 oz at 6 pm until it was finished. This one just takes a little longer than the other preps. But trust me you will start. I thought the same thing at first but then it worked:)

I sprinkle Parmesan and light olive oil and a small amount of butter on the noodles.

Hey Ron - Good Luck to you! Let me know how you do. Since I started the pens and Imuran I have not had to take a pain pill since. First time in Months, Its been nice. I am still a bit tired but hopefully it will subside. Good Luck!

Well tonight was my first initial dose. I ended up with the pens because my specialty pharmacy was out of the pre filled. Was not bad at all I built it up to be way worse. Doing it 4 times was a bit much. I will be glad when it is just one shot. The only part that hurt a little was the actual...

Starting mine tomorrow. I'm nervous fingers crossed!

I just wanted to thank everyone for posting about the Humira savings. I got a approved today and it will only be $5. Beats the mess out of the $60 a shot I was looking at. I also signed up for the program and there sending a nurse out for my first shots at no charge to show me how to use it and...

I would tell your dr it could be a number of things.. Generally your lymphnodes swell when your body is fighting something, it could be crohns but it could also be a number if things. Best of luck to you.

I would get weakness in my legs when my flare was really bad. Mine was due to my inside if his stomach being so swollen it would pressure downwards. Don't ignore it let your dr know.

Starting humira- getting opinions on pens vs the pre filled syringes??

Yes this is a big problem with steroids. It makes me want to just munch like crazy.

Clash- have you used the savings card? How does that work exactly? I signed up for it and there sending me the card

It wasn't as bad as I thought. My dr mentioned doing shots more frequently at first and then decreasing that number over time. Did your dr mention that to you as well?

I had results with prednisone almost immediately when starting. Like literally overnight, but that's not always the case with people depends on your symptoms and what's bothering you. Mine was pain from inflammation so the prednisone reduced that immediately for me and I had relief. It isn't...

Hey Ron that depends on your insurance. I am about to start next week myself and mine will be $60 a shot.

My dr said he was testing my anti bodies. My results came back and he said that they showed being positive for having more of an aggressive Crohns. I have done some research but still unsure of exactly what this is. Can anyone explain?
