Possibly going on Humira - side effects/successes?

[karriebell]

Hello all! just a quick question. I am currently on IV antobiotics for abscesses and a possible fistula. After my MRI they are talking HUMIRA. Any success stories? and possible side effects?

Many people do have success with Humira and you can read about that at both our Humira forum http://www.crohnsforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=59 and our Success Stories forum http://www.crohnsforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=72

Humira as do all drugs like it which are in a class of meds called biologics do come with a long list of side effects. Some mild to others that are very alarming. Most people tolerate these medications but you should know about the potential side effects and with your doctors weigh whether its an appropriate treatment for you.

This page is an overview of Humira and lists potential side effects http://www.crohnsforum.com/showthread.php?t=29394
