Humira still fortnightly another colonoscopy

[Grant]

Oh well, seen the Specialist today & he wants to do a Colonoscopy, this will be my 16th, before they make a judgement on whether to put me on weekly shots. Had an endoscopy done 3 weeks ago but they couldn't go very far as it was narrowing out a lot & signs of Crohns again.
As long as they give me Picolax I'll be ok with it, just a tad fed up tonight & wondering when will this end & why is my body refusing to help itself. This disease can be so frustrating @ times.

Grant,

Sorry to hear that it's getting to you at the moment. Things will improve.

I'm in the same boat with regards to moving to weekly Humira. I had another MRI yesterday, I've had so many I've lost count! Case goes before the multi-disciplinary team for a decision in two weeks.
