    Strange pain (sorry if wrong forum)

    Starting this afternoon, I'm having a new pain. It's on the right side just under the ribcage, about 3 inches up from the bottom rib. I'll be just fine and all of a sudden, BOOM, it feels like something clutches your insides for about 3 seconds then releases. It's very pinpoint, in a small area...

    Cimzia working better than Humira

    I just finished my final loading dose. The shots hurt way less than Humira, but I do get a drunk feeling for a short period of time. I've felt great so far. Hopefully I won't run into the same numbing/tingling issues that I had from Humira. The Cimzia forum is quiet , I just wanted to get some...

    Pain inside lower right rib cage

    I know this is a common symptom with crohns, but it seems that my pain in the gall bladder area is lessened when I take Nexium. My GI thinks that my distended belly pushes on other organs causing discomfort. A Dr in an urgent care thinks I have a bile issue that Nexium can fix. When I took...
