Hey guys. I just joined this forum. I haven't had the easiest life, and Chrons, Ulcerative Colitis, acid reflux, and Osteoperosis don't make anything better.
I was diagnossed with Chrons last Janurary. I had symptons for a while before that, but at that time, my parents started to notice I wasn't gaining any weight like a normal 11 year old would. I was actually losing weight. I dropped to around 55 lbs, and our GI doctor found that I had chrons and UC. I was on 40mg of predinsone, and pentasa 3 times a day, and prevacid 3 times a day. As of now, I've been in remission ever since I started Humira. I still take my Pentasa and Prevacid, but we spent all my health insurance money, so I'm not able to take as much I'd like. We found out ordering medicine from Canada is much cheaper, and we just do that. I am now completely off of prednisone for a while, and I take Humira every other week.
I think I can help this community.
