Hi!

My name is Joakim and i live in Norway.
I am 17 and got diagnosed 9 months ago, i didn't really care much of it because i didn't have any pain at all and i was just fine. The doctor said my chrons was so low i didn't need any medication. So i just didn't care much about it and went home, and 1 month ago the pain just came out of no where. Never had so much pain in whole life, got rushed to the hospital and got some morphine. It lasted for 10 hours and then it was over. The doctor gave me humira, imurel and some steroids. After i got the medication i have some much energy and feel better than i have ever felt before. I am a competetive cyclist, and my performance is much much better now.

Welcome to the forum Joakim!

I'm glad they did not wait too long to take care of your Crohn properly! I hope the treatment will get you to remission quickly and keep you that way for a long time so you can enjoy your life fully!

If things get tricky, remember we are here to support you!

Good luck

Thank you, the first doctor i met didn't know so much about chrons. But the second doctor i met at the hospital was one of the doctors who had chrons as his specialty. And thoose humira shots i take really do wonders, but it's really expensive! 500$ per shot and you need a shot every second week, lucky for me the government pays it for me

Hi Joakim and welcome! I'm glad you found your way here.

First off, the doctor who originally sent you home without any treatment plan? Never go back to him again. Make sure you find a new doctor if you haven't already.

Second, since you're on Humira, you may want to check out our Humira support forum.

I wish you all the best and hope to see you around the community
