Tests For Humira?

[Lorencait]

Hello!
My name is Caitlin and I have a question. I recently got diagnosed with Crohn's Disease and my doctor wants to put me on Humira. What are all the tests that you have to take before you can get Humira? I feel very anxious (I'm leaving to work at Summer camp on June 7th and NEED to get some relief before I leave). So far I've had a chest x-ray, the TB test, and some other blood tests. I was told I have to take more tests (I find out on Wednesday). Does anyone else have any idea? Thank you!

The test you have received are the one that are normally recommended: TB test, X-Rays and blood test. My GI requested that I had a CT-Scan to make sure I had no internal abscess. I think this might a precautionary measure that was done considering I was known for active fistula (which could have also been associated with abscess at the time).

Otherwise I can't think of any other specific tests required for Humira.

Hopefully it's only some additional blood tests
