Hello,
I have recently started a study abroad program with my graduate school. I have moved around quite frequently and always notice that I need an extra week or so to settle in because my stomach gets pretty upset when I first change locations. Has anyone else experienced this?
I've noticed that doing light yoga and other low intensity exercises really help me as well. I'm currently having a rough couple of days after the move and just want to know if anyone else has had any similar experiences and if they have found ways to mitigate this. I've been trying to meditate and relax because I think anxiety may cause my Crohn's to flare up a bit. I just hope I start feeling better soon. I really don't like staying inside all day when I would like to be exploring the city with my friends.
I started Humira about 2.5 months ago and found that it really helped for the first few weeks but then started to help a little less (possibly due to the decrease in milligrams after the starter kit?). I still feel better than when I was on no medication but am still hoping that it will really help me a lot like it did initially. I am thinking of asking my doctor if I should inject Humira once every 10 days instead of every two weeks but also want to wait it out a bit longer to see if the Humira starts to work as well as it did with the 4 pen starter kit. Does anyone have any advice regarding how long it takes for Humira to start working to its full capacity and how I long I should wait until increasing the prescription frequency?
I like Humira so far and definitely feel that it has been helping me but I just really hope it starts working as well as it did on the first injection so that I can really take advantage of studying abroad and finishing graduate school.
Thank you for reading this and sharing any advice or personal experiences.
