How long did it take for Humira to work for you?

When did you see help for your Crohn's with Humira?

15 days. Unfortunately I couldn't keep taking it due to it causing recurring upper respiratory infections. Helped the diarrhea, mucus, joint and abdominal pain completely after 15 days (right after the loading doses).

I felt much better by 4 weeks and in complete remission after 12 weeks. Sadly, I had to come off due to severe back pain (doctor said it only occurred in 2% of people taking it in trials but hey! someone has to make up the 2%, right!) and fatigue it caused.

I will try Remicade next!

I hope your daughter has great, fast results! I know a lot of people have found great relief with Humira!!!

it never really took full effect for me, was taking it for a year with flares before my colon perfed. Doctor D/C'd it after that

Been 8 weeks and still waiting for me.

I thought I saw an improvement after my first loading dose but since then I cant say I have noticed any difference,

I am staying hopeful it will work
