Humira bad abdominal pain

[Aura]

Hi,
Have just given myself my second dose - 2 x jabs Humira. I gave it about 4 hrs ago now. Now I have the badest stomach cramps and abdo pain. Is this the drug working? Is this normal? I have takwn two tramadol for the pain as its a real bugger. Maybe the oo: are coming soon. I currently have 9 ulcers in my jejenum and end of small bowel. Pain is tummy button top and lower right ribs.

I'm a bit worried - any thoughts or advice is so welcome

thanks:sign0085:

Did any of these sympstoms pop up after the 4 loading doses 2 weeks ago?

I have not had these reactions, but do feel wicked tired and like I have lead-legs after the shots.

Good luck.

Last week about this time I was coming out of a colonoscopy - so I remember feeling about the same - and I just put these pains down to the colonoscopy.

I don't think there's anything about Humira that would cause the pain - more like your disease still on the rampage. Humira can take a little while to work.

What have you eaten lately?

It's the same again for me this week, I think you are right MissUnderestimated - its the crohns still being active. My bloods are improving slightly in that my WBC is in the normal range for the first time last week, and so were my neutrophills. Others will still out of whack.

I have taken one tramal, I will take another one later. Today I had a smoothie for lunch, and I will have a light tea. I still have no appetite - again more indiciative of crohns.

Hope the Humira works for you quickly. Give it a chance.

Boo, sorry you are suffering (and sorry to have been away for a while again).

I will get better i.e. it will go to remission again - it just make take a while. I am happy with small progress and that's what we are getting in my bloods - so thats good news. We just need to manage manage manage until then.

Packers came in today and packed all the contents in to boxes. Tomorrow they load up the truck. It's all going well, although the pace of change is fast and unsettling, especially when I am not 100% or even 50%. So I go minute by minute and hour by hour and try not to think and just be in each moment. I don't need to plan ahead and always think about what needs to be done I just need to be...in the moment.

Wolf and Teesha are sitting on the bed :hug:, hubby is playing last poker night with his buddies and I am here on the forum and keeping warm.
