I was diagnosed in 1995 with Crohn's. Had an emergency intestinal resection at that time. Another resection in 2004, & was told that I also had Celiac Disease. As soon as I removed gluten & wheat from my diet, my life changed drastically. Arthritic hand pain, fistula, & stomach distress went away. I have gone 9 yrs with no meds, & no bad problems with Crohns's. I had almost decided that I didn't really have Crohn's, & then I got really sick at the 1st part of September. After a CT scan, the results showed that I had major damage in my small intestine, & not much was going thru from all of the narrowing. They put me on prednisone, & did another CT scan in 1 1/2 mos, & all of the damage had healed! Looks like I may be joining the Humira Club. My GI Dr does not want me to get clear off the steroids before I start Humira. He says that they are afraid that the damage might come back again & send me right into surgery. I've had some bad allergic reactions to meds & contrast dye, so I'm a BIG chicken to try any new ones. Thanks everyone for all of the info that you've shared about Humira.
