Hi I'm about to start humira again. I was on it for about 1 year, stopped it 1.5 years ago, and am about to start it again. I think I recall reading that there can be problems going back on it, so I'd like to hear if anyone here has done so. Thanks!
 
Hey! In exact same shoes as you, started again last Friday and everything seems to be working! Just noticing the itching coming back a bit. Did you have surgery or did u just go off humira? I went off humira a year ago and had surgery, then been having pain since november but thought it was just adhesion pain but it is actually crohns again in 2 more meters of bowel :( I am already feeling better though !

Hope it goes ok for u!
 
yes my story is similar; stopped humira had a resection surgery, a year went by and on a followup colonoscopy - all portions of the ileum he could get to were inflammed, erosive, etc.. - he said he could get to about 20 cm. But I have to assume more length of the ileum must look like that. So, yes, back on humira - it will take some time to get the shots. I can't say I'm looking forward to it but I don't want more extensive surgery!
 
I know what you mean :( I know the crohns will break thru again, it was only a couple of months last time I was on humira. But it's the best option before surgery, and surgery is definitely no cure! It is nice having a wee break from the pain though. Gives me a bit of time to regain my sanity !
