Diarrhea and Humira

[Scaryman]

Started having humira injections in the hospital two Two injections first day and second day. I told the doctor I'm not sure I got the proper loading dose, he looked into it. I'm just wondering if it's constant for people to have diarrhea starting humira I know it's one of side effects.

Scaryman, I also had pretty significant diarrhea after my loading dose. I also had leg cramps for 2 days after.

Sasha, does your CD involve stricturing Crohn's.?

Hi Scaryman, I saw that you had requested additional support. Has the diarrhea gotten any better? For me I was having diarrhea before I started Humira and the diarrhea went away just before I finished the loading doses (less than 2 weeks).

My loading doses were two shots on the first day, two shots the second day and two shots on the 15th day then one shot every other week.
