Hi everyone,
I just wanted to get some advice. I've been on humira for a year and half now and I've felt great. However last week, when I was on the toilet - I guess I was pushing really really hard, and since then I think i've given myself some sort of flare up. I had my injection a few days ago and though I felt better the next two days, I'm still suffering from heaps of mucus when I go to the toilet and basically feel like i'm not digesting anything.
What I want to know is has anyone had a flare up on Humira and is still taking humira? Did your gastro increase your dose or did you just happen to come through the flare naturally? I was always under the impression that no one should have flare ups on Humira so i'm concerned that it's stopped working. I am going to call my gastroenterologist tomorrow but I just wanted to get your perspectives on here as well.
