62 years old. Crohn's for 44 years. 9 resections from age 19-31. No ostomy but have had short bowel for 32 years.
NO MAJOR FLAREUPS FOR 31 YEARS. Raised a family (4 children), held a steady job,and lived a "normal" life for 31 years. Truly a blessed man.
Now I have a flareup and have been prescribed Humira. Gastro doc suggests jumping on this flareup hard. No bowel leeway for another sugery, Also now on TPN due to explosive diarrhea and recurring dehydration and electrolyte loss. Currently hospitalized.
Anyone out there similar to the above? How have your results with Humira been? Anything I should be aware of?
Thanks for your advice if given.
God bless all IBDers!
