Just curious if anyone else has had stomach aches following getting their loading dose. I have had humira before, back in 2012, i just had my first loading dose and when i gave myself the first of the 4 injections, omg, i got the worst stomach cramps, like almost immediately, and i my guts are still tender or sensitive. The site is tender, but my stomach or guts just seem to be turning, and i want to just stay in bed, fetal positioned. Actually get sharp pains from time to time in my intestines too.
I hate this disease so much, there are no words to describe this feeling. I hate this time of year, and my birthday is new years eve, and i hate it more and more as this disease prolongs its stay. Haven't you realized you have pverstayed yur welcome now crohn's. It is to the point where it really is uncomfortable, dont you get that feeling like it's time for you to leave.
Sorry, anyway, just curious if anyone has had issues or been sympomatic following the humira injections? Happy holidays to all of you and a happy new year
 
Hi BB sorry for your pain
I've not had humira but i think you should get in touch with doc n see what they think. Best wishez n hope things improve soon. Hugs đź’•
 
Ds gets bad stomach pains
Humira seems to have a reset
So the first 24-48 hours after injections prior to hitting maintence he would almost get worse - then end up with Diarrhea ( he is normally severely constipated so has miralax daily )
This took a while to iron out with his system
Now he has been on it for two almost three years
No belly pain but no bm for 24 hours then he is "normal " again

Humira just takes time to work
Ds needed to switch from 20 mg every other week
To 40 mg every other week
To 40 mg every 10 days with mtx
To 40 mg every week with mtx
But it still works well

Good luck
It just takes time
EEN helps while the med is building up ( takes 3-5 months to build up )
 
Thx for the replies. Just been difficult as i have noticed pain returning in my right and left side, and especially at the spot where i did the first injection. Just worries me because all the markers look "good" so what does that mean now. Just scared, and depressed from not wanting to do anything at all.
