Humira on its own?

[cosmic dave]

My doctor was that happy that humira had worked out for me he told me to stop the sulphsalazine and only use humira, well within 2 weeks I was starting to get stomach pains again. I started to take the sulphsalazine again on Tuesday. Does anyone only use humira to control crohns?

Many can get by only on Humira but it's very common to be on more than one IBD med.

Humira is generally enough on it's own unless the medication per say is ineffective for you or if you develop antibodies to it. Everyone is different, but in general, with anti-tnf, there is a period where the anti-tnf alone are enough. The pairing is generally done with immunosuppressor in order to reduce the risk of developing antibodies to the biological agent.
