i really hope your husband gets the support that is needed. I was chatting to a lady and she said a serious side effect from humira is extreme fatigue, muscle weakness, breathlessness, mood changes and change in thought pattern, memory loss and concentration. I fit all those things and think that is why she could quickly tell me to get to a dr, which i did yesterday. I had my bloods done today, and i am quite disorientated and cannot believe how i feel... struggle to drive and use any mucles, even typing this. Sometimes people with crohn's or colitis have to accept they may need to change a career for a healthier lifestyle... i know i have had to give up my job and maybe work in an office but sitting all day and using my hands soo much will effect theose joints.. It is very difficult to decide what to do... though you seem to be very supportive for your husband and i can tell you regardless of how is feeling, he appreciates and loves you more for persevering through this. Im at a rough stage at the minute wher i feel very much alone and my parents and sister think i can change my mood when i want and have energy when i need it.. and it doesnt work like that. Your children will come to an understanding eventually but while they see their dad change , you , im afraid need to have the extra strength to keep persevering!!!! It is fab that you are very interested because you are on this.... it encourages me, and is something i might consider for my parents or sister to do, so they can hear other peoples stories. I have crohns for 16years and still feel i have very little knowledge and same for my family... so we dont know how to handle it
