The journey continues now Humira

[Crohns and AS]

Had a colonoscopy last week results weren't as good as I was hoping but could have been worse. Mild colitis left colon and more severe colitis in right anyway just did blood work, TB test and took chest xray today since they want me to start Humira. I will be taking methotrexate also which I am currently already on.

Any input from anyone that are on both or any input on Humira would be appreciated.

I hope humira along with the methotrexate works for you.

I've been on humira for about a year now and have not had any issues. I have had some swollen glands, which may or may not have been related, but I've been encouraged by my time with it.

I have had joint pain as long as i have had crohns , the humira has taken the edge off the joint pain , its more an annoyance now rather than debilitating , before the humira there were times that the pain in my hips was so bad that i could not walk , now its just an ache and I can put up with that .

I have been on Humira for coming on 5 years now, with no major flares. It's been very nice. I'll take this ride as far as it can go!
