Humira vs Remicade

[thedelkproject]

My husband was just diagnosed with Crohn's disease last year, and has had 2 small bowel resections so far. His doctor wants to abruptly switch him from Humira to Remicade and we are very concerned about this. There's a lot more to our story (i blog about it as we go) but we are wanting to get opinions on pros and cons on Humira versus Remicade. Also, looking for any natural remedies or solutions if you've had success with any. Thanks so much for all your help in advance!

We went the opposite route and had to switch from remicade to humira. It was due to my son building up antibodies to remicade.

Has the doc upped the dose of the humira, shortened the schedule or added an immunosuppressive med? Has he had a humira levels test or been tested for antibodies to humira?

My son would much rather be on Remicade than humira. He says he just felt better on remicade. Jury is still out if Humira is working for him, colonoscopy soon

Humira did not work well for me. Was in and out of flare ups the entire time I was on. Switched to Remicade after discovery of increase in my inflammation. On Remicade and Methotrexate now. For the most part is working except I've been feeling dizzy sometimes
