Hi everyone, I was on Humira for a couple of months last summer until i had to stop due to infections. I'm only just getting round to restarting it now, i had my 4x dose a fortnight ago and i had my double dose this morning. I know it's still early but i'm feeling good already! Less tiredness...

I saw my IBD nurse today and she basically said what Dusty said. Surgeons and their crazy medical jargon eh:ytongue:

I haven't had a drop of alcohol in nearly two years now, not for any medical reasons, just that the novelty wore off a few years after achieving legal drinking age and i sort of just got bored with it. It was quite fun at the time though but my stoma output wasn't exactly pretty after a couple...

Thankfully not, that sounds horrible:puke_r: It might be a mistake, i have an appointment with my IBD nurse tomorrow for a double dose of Humira, so i'll be sure to ask her about it then.

Thanks for that link Fairy but if anything, i'm even more confused now. Thankfully i've never had any problems with my urinary tract and all my fistulae and abcesses are all around my rectum:confused:

Hi jojo, i'm sorry to hear your son is suffering:stinks: I was about 16-17 when i had my colostomy, it was a huge decision to make at the time but for about 2 years afterwards everything was great, i even managed a school trip to Switzerland:thumleft: Sadly it didn't last as my Crohn's...

Hi sm97, you're clearly very mature for your age, it's a big decision for you to make and researching the drugs is the right thing to do. I was around your age when i started Methotrexate and honestly, i was competely ignorant of what the drug was and any potential side effects. At that age i...

The last time i was in remission was due to Remicade/Infliximab but i built up antibodies and had a bad reaction so i stopped, now i'm hoping Humira does the same without the reaction. Good luck with starting life as an adult and i hope you're crohn's free by then:)

I recently had an investigation under anesthetic of my rear end and in my discharge letter it says i have a typical case of watering can perineum. I've never heard of this term before and there is nothing on wikipedia about it, so i was hoping one of my fellow crohnies knows what it is. Thanks:)

Hi Lovelyss, i've had a fistula for about 6-7 years now and i've lost count of the amount of setons that i've had. Some have only lasted a couple of weeks but most stay in draining for a few months, my last one stayed in and continued draining for well over 6 months:eek2: As for medication, the...

Your symptoms sound almost exactly like i had early on. Although i had suffered from constipation since early childhood, things only really kicked off when i had a bad stomach bug which triggered the bloating and fatigue that you are going through. I know exactly what you mean by that "icky...

I was diagnosed with Crohn's about 10 years ago when i was about 13 or 14yo and since then i've kept things very private. I've never spoken to anyone with Crohn's or any other IBD before and find it very hard to explain my problems to other people, even my parents. So i apologise if this post is...
