newbie
Hi Everyone, im new to the forum, but have been diagnosed for over ten years. Going to keep this as brief as possible, I was diagnosed in 2000, further to a pregnancy from hell, thankfully my daughter was fine
My symptons never really eased until a few years ago, when i had a really acute flare and ended up in hospital for three weeks hydrocortizone IV didnt seem to help and it looked at one stage like they would have to take alot of my large colon and the small bowel as well, to be honest i'd have been prepared to do it myself if i thought it would have helped but thankfully I had a great consultant who persevered and after a reaction to remicade, i started humira...ive never looked back. At the minute i take 100mg of imuran at night and have been off Humira for 2 years. Im in remission and with the exception of a bit of constipation, im great. having read some of the other new members posts, i just wanted to say, to all those who are in a flare or who are despondant that nothing seems to work anymore...hang in there, or , more appropriately hang in here, nothing beats the knowledge that youre not facing this alone
