weekly injections not helping "D"

Anyone else on weekly injections and still having chronic diarrhea?
I do not have many other complaints just waaaayyyyyyy too many watery bms a day and fatigue. Some joint pain.
I am not sure if I should just "deal" with it or change meds. My doc is a bozo and I am feeling lost.
I did post on another thread and received helpful info (thank you all). I suppose my question here is Am I wasting a great drug if my major compalint is still an issue? Also I am afraid of what could happen if I stop. There I said it, fear if I do fear if I don't.
I know that we are not doctors here but I have witnessed more comfort, patience and intelligence in one week on this forum than the past 10 years of docs. (I had a great doc for my first 12 years, alas he retired)
I am interested in other opinions and ideas not for DX just thought :)
 
Weekly Humira has pretty much been a miracle for me. How long have you been on weekly injections, and have you been on remicade or any of the other anti-TNFalpha's?
 
Hi Beth.
No other anti-TNFalphas. Humira weekly for a year. At one time or another I have tried azulfadine, asacol, entecourt(SP?), immuran, and prednisone all in different combos & to no or little relief. Prednisone used to be a mixed blessing but now I just feel better for a day or two then same-same. I am not really sure what "good health" feels like. I have been playing with the SCD diet and I am looking into LDN but nervous about going off Humira.
Also, I am about to run out of my 3 month supply and my new insurance will not be covering the H. ARRRRGGGGGH! Thx for caring:)
