Well done Mandy. I was the exact same when I started humira last september. Terrified of the thought of self-injecting. But now its just a routine procedure for me. I really wish you the best of luck. Keep up the good work.

Limerick is the city in Ireland I live in so I came up with Limerick boy. Im not the most creative to be honest

I completely agree with you David. I can not understand how one declares themselves king or queen of a country based on their birth or family background. It just doesnt seem fair or democratic. As others have said, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and many people support the idea of...

The tv coverage in Ireland was a bit over the top to be honest. Our national broadcaster and various radio and tv stations provided coverage from about 8.30am. There was a screening in my home city as well at our annual may bank holiday weekend festivals. This country is going through the most...

Hi guys just a quick question. How often should you get a blood test when taking humira? Its been about 4 months since my last test and was wondering how often other people get blood tests as well?

Ah thats a lovely story. Shows how much all our moms take care of us. The leprechaun is a great story. My brother used to always tell me to follow the rainbow and I would get a pot of gold. Pity all that rainbow following nerver had its rewards!!

Ian I really feel what you are saying. Im 17 years of age and been on humira since about December. A couple of weeks ago I had an appointement with a surgeon for a fistula and he was very straight with me. He said my rectum is quite inflammed and that in the future I could face the possibility...

Not yet but I will continue to chase him up the rainbow until he gives me that pot of gold!! The parades have ended here in Ireland and many people have headed to the pubs and clubs to drown the shamrock as we say over here. There will be many an Irish person all over the world waking up with a...

Well guys Happy St. Patrick's Day to all. This really is one of my favourite times of the year. Meeting with family, going to the parade and eating whatever I want. So to everyone out there have a great day and dont drink too much Guinness!!:goodluck:

Thanks Michele. Ya im on the road to recovery now at last. I will be starting physio in the next week or so and hopefully that will build up the strength in my dodgy knees!!

Thanks Amy. Ya the knee is feeling better and is not swollen anymore. The only downer is Im not allowed play soccer untill next August for some stupid insurance reason. The insurance company for the club said they cant insure me again untill the new season begins. I hate insurance companies!!!

Ya I will have to say this to my GI the next time I see her. I have only been getting these injuries since I was diagnosed with chron's. I had many bad knocks and bangs before but I was always able to get back up and on with the game.

not again Oh guys im just so upset. Im a 17 yr old lad and i love playing soccer. Its my life, my passion, it gives me an outlet to just be with my friends and play the game I love. During the summer, a couple of weeks after I was diagnosed, I dislocated my left knee at training. I was just...

I do not know if this is coincidence or what but myself and two other lads have been diagnosed with chrons and we live right beside each other. It is really weird like. I think there is only something like 5,000 people in Ireland with chron's and to have 3 people in the same area of housing is...

I'm proud that I can do my humira injections myself. I was really scared about having to inject myself but so far i think im doing good. This is a great idea Kello!

I think it would be a really good idea. It would be good if we could share our experiences with our peers

16, diagnosed last July, symptoms for about 7 months before I finally plucked up the courage to go tho the doctor and see what the situation was

Hi guys, just said I would give yee an update. Was at the hospital today for my loading dose and it actually wasnt that bad!! I did one of the injections myself and it went quite well. I had the injections in the stomach, it was a bit sore for a while but it went away after a while. Im really...

Thanks abo for the advice.Ya ive heard a lot of good feedback about humira and hopefully it will help me as well. I was really syched up about the injections this morning and was really disappointed when they rang to cancel. I would prefer if the nurse could just come to the house but they want...

Oh man im so annoyed! Was heading out to the hospital a short while ago, when my mother got a phone call. My GI's secretary said not to come out to the hospital because the humira nurse, who was supposed to be travelling from Dublin, never got the fax about the details and wouldnt be able to...
