"is getting her hysterectomy!!"
8:37am Sunday
it's been a little while Mood
Monday, April 6, 2009 | A General Update story
Hey everybody! So sorry. Ihave been dealing with some stuff and it's been a little hectic. I think the Humira finally kicked in. My crohn's is a little less crazy and that's great! My joints ache SO bad, especially my left knee and achilles heels. Is that normal with humira? Also, this is a new symptom, I get this really sharp, burning sensation on my left side, under my ribcage. It isn't a constant pain, but it happens when I roll over in bed, bend or turn. I am not sure what that is about. I have to maek an appointment to follow up with my GI this month, but I am really scared to. Not because of being sick, but because I owe my doctor's office about 3 thousand dollars. I havent made a single payment. So I am debating what to do. I have to see them, and they don't harass me about it, but every time I call, I do get asked about payments. It's so upsetting to me. I am just so frustrated.

    Glad the humira has kicked in and giving you some relief.

    Don't worry about owing your doc money. Know that is easier said than done, but they'll work with you if you talk to them....Good luck, and you make that appointment!!

    Sometimes the docs office will work with you as long as you are attempting to pay them back. I had one Doctor who took 500.00 off what I owed them. I had been sending them about 100-200 a month for a year and when I called to see how much I still owed they asked me what I thought was a reasonable amount and then lowered what I owed by 500 bucks. It might work for you.
