I am seriously considering switching to Humira. I was on 6mp but the disease got very aggressive and I needed surgery. I don't feel safe going back on a drug that didn't prevent surgery.
Here are some questions:
1. Does Humira suppress the entire immune system or only the molecules responsible for inflammation in crohn's?
2. How common are the serious side effects like tuberculosis?
3. Is this drug shown to be effective after surgery?
4. Can you start and stop Humira or do you develop resistance to it?
