Starting humira.. Weight gain?

[JustThatGirl]

Hi. I've posted a few times. I'm SEVERELY under weight. I'm 25 years old, 5"2' and weigh 85 pounds. Honestly, it has taken all my self-cconfidence. I feel hideous. I've been diagnosed with Crohn's for 2 years and it hasn't improved- actually, it has continuously gotten worse with this weight. I got a new GI who is starting me on Humira. I have the pens but have to go in for training.

please fill me in! I'm so nervous. I hate the thought of giving myself an injection.
What do I expect?
Mainly, will I gain weight? If you did, how long did it take you?

Seems it affects everyone differently. I took my first loading dose a couple weeks ago. I had spent several months prior not being able to re-gain weight lost during a recent flare-up, even Prednisone didn't help. After the loading dose, though, I gained about 7-8 pounds. I'm still underweight, but I just took my second dose yesterday. I'm hoping the weight gain will continue as I get back into remission again.
