Hi, my name is Dawn. I'm 30 and have a wonderful supportive husband and a handsome 2 1/2 year old son.
I suffered from belly pain as a kid having my appendix out at 8 , gallbladder removed at 16 and my bile duct cut and Stinted at 18. I finally got the dx of IBD today. My colonoscopy in June showed a lil bit of patchy inflammation in the descending and sigmoid colon however doctors was not convinced it was IBD then. They did a re peat colonoscopy jan and found (per biopsys) severe inflammation the whole way through my colon this time. They are still unsure if its UC or Crohn's, however with my pain and other symptoms they are leaning towards Crohn's. In two weeks I'm having the pill cam to help dx which IBD and i start Humira.
My symptoms : nausea, vomiting, stomach pain (every where), direahha, constipation, bloody bm's, body aches (like if I have the flu), fatigue, night sweats, loss of appetite (I oddly have not loss weight??) :frown:
My question is does this effect my chances of having a 2nd child? My husband and I were planning on trying in June before the dx.
My 2nd question is what has your experience been with Humira??
