I had a colonoscopy this morning. This is my annual scope. Apparently CD has appeared again, at the surgery site. I have a small but inflamed area. Explains my narrow stools.
I am so upset about this. I had 2.5 feet of bowel removed last October. My (*&%#(*^$#% Insurance company did not consider my case severe (even after I had the surgery) and would not approve Humira. I have spent 8 months trying to get on the right med. Sulfasalazine and Asacol both failed. I filed a complaint with the state Insurance Division, which started an investigation that has not yet been resolved. I finally got approval for Humira. I started the loading doses last week. I really believe if the insurance company had got the crowbar out and opened their wallet when they should have, I probably would not have any inflamed gut right now. :voodoo::ymad::angry-banghead:
We are going to give Humira a chance and see how it is doing in a couple of months.
