    Humira on its own?

    My doctor was that happy that humira had worked out for me he told me to stop the sulphsalazine and only use humira, well within 2 weeks I was starting to get stomach pains again. I started to take the sulphsalazine again on Tuesday. Does anyone only use humira to control crohns? 2
