Humuria or Remicade, which one do i choose?

[Lottie93]

Hello all,
So I've been told that i need more treatment for my crohns Im not sure what to think about it, not ideal but my crohns is so poorly managed atm i am kinda glad to have something else which may help get my symptoms under control.

Anyway, i was told i can have the choice between Humira or Remicade. Ive looked them up and i am awaiting information leaflets about them both, but they both seem similar and I'm really not sure which one sounds best.
I don't mind infusions or injections

Just wanted to get some peoples personal experience/opinions about the drugs seeing as you will have first hand experience.

Thank you

I was always afraid of taking Remicade because of the side effects and I felt like it was a last resort. Well I reached my lowest point in my Crohn's journey and was left with no other choice but to start Remicade. After my first infusion things turned around almost instantly and I've been taking it for almost 4 years, however, it looks like I'll be stopping because I'm beginning to build antibodies. The infusion isn't that bad. I go every 8 weeks and the infusion itself is only about 2 1/2 - 3 hours. Let me know if you have any other questions! Good luck!

Remicade!
It immediately cleared up my fistula and inflammation. I am talking days not weeks or months
Worked great for me for almost 10 years but not anymore switched to humira but not any better.
Try remicade first see how it works for you. I think more people respond to remicade than Humira and faster that is for sure
I haven't had any problems taking either
Good luck

Humira didn't work on me so Remicade was my miracle drug.
