    A tasty veggie dip recipe?

    Hey everyone! With my Crohn's, I mostly survive off of simple carbs like bread but I'm really trying to eat healthier. I'm not a big veggie eater (never have been) so I'm trying to spice up raw, tasteless veggies with some dip. Problem is they are SO unhealthy! I was looking at the grocery...

    Sulfasalazine and nausea?

    Hey everyone! So I will give you the backstory first: the first drug I was ever on was sulfasalazine (which was like 7 years ago).

    Blister after injection?

    I just got my first humira injection today, four pens. I just took off all the band-aids and noticed I had this huge blister at just one of the injections sites. It's about the size of a thumb nail. I actually poked it a few times, it's tender (obviously). Could it just be some meds/fluids...

    Crazy-ass hair side affect?

    crazy-ass hair side affect? I've been on remicade for several months now and I've gotten the weirdest side affect. My hair has always been crazy fuzzy and curly. (Note my avatar pic). For the last few months it was become a straight/slighty wavy texture. No more corkscrew curls! Anyone else...
