My advise to you is to do full check ups, because your Crohns might not be "fully" under control. If that's the case, maybe your doctor will reconsider your medication plan. CD is vey strange disease and it effects everything. Cheers.

Gaining weight is very difficult for CD patient, the trick I did when I was very skinny is to take protein shakes on daily bases. BUT, be aware that there are many types (Whey, Egg, Etc) and nutritious benefits therefore I suggest you to ask Nutritionist to recommend the right one. BTW they do...

thanks for your valuable input, however, My Neurologist confirms that Humira have strong link with brain complications and must be monitored closely ! I will update you once my results come out.

I hope your brave kid is doing well. but why did they switch his med to stelara instead of Humira? sometimes they do combine medication (humira + steriods) to control CD. regards

Greetings I have been on Humira for about 6 consecutive years and gladly I found peace with Crohn's at last, many disease complications were off (i.e. joint pain, fistula etc.) However, last couple of months I’m witnessing new one that I haven’t had before. I don't feel my back, even if you...

Hi I'm sorry to hear about the waiting thing, but since you're have Kuwaiti and gladly things here are tend to be easier, my suggestion to you to come here and through GI you can get the treatment. usually you have to do some medical test before, shouldn't take more than 1 week, and then you...

hi simpa how you doing? I'm glad you're feeling good now. It seems that Humira doesn't work for everybody and we all need a good specialist who can find exactly what kind of medication is suitable for everyone of us instead of trying them all ! Hang in there dear.:)
