After three years in remission with crohn's I had another blockage and was hospitalized. Now my GI wants to put me on Humira.
I'm concerned about the serious sideeffects of that medication.
Any advice?
Humira hasn't had any bad side effects for me! It's been working really well for me and it's a Biologic that you're actually less likely to build up antibodies or get bad reactions to.
I've been on two biologics now and if you're worried about them, they're really not as bad as you think! Plus you get monitored with regular blood tests while you're on them to make sure everything is okay.
Hi and welcome.
My five year old is on humira. She had no side effects so far. The shot does hurt but she takes it like a pro now. I hope it works well for you.
