Also had couple days where it was nom stop bm's like my gut started to clear out felt like i took a powerful laxative seems better now. Saw my gi today and he says will take up tp 3 months for humira too kick in properly

The last time I started Humira it took I would say 4 to 6 weeks to show a big improvement. It is different for different people though. Some people respond quicker then others. 3 months seems a little long to me. I was told when I first started Humira if I never had any improvement by the 3 month mark it was most likely not going to work.

I don't think the Humira causes pain like that - were you taking anything else before you started the Humira? It does take a little time to kick in for most people. If you were taking something for pain before, ask for some now. Doctors can be kind of cavalier about other people's pain. I used to go on clear liquids for a few days if I couldn't get it to stop. If nothing goes in, your gut kind of gets a little rest.

I dunno I used to get the same pain with infliximab which was one of the reasons I stopped the infliximab

in order for Humira to be properly evaluated you need to be on it for around 12 weeks. This is pretty much the norm. I have asked a contact in NIH as well as the University of Chicago where I was treated by one of the best GI's in the world. I had my own loading dose complications, like passing out, no energy and dizziness. But my complications went away as time progressed on Humira. I know its not easy but trfy and tough it out, it might be worth it.:thumright:
