    • About Me

      I am 58 years young. I have been very happily married to Pat for 31 years this July(crohns, type 1 diabetic, x-humira user etc etc) and I joined this site to vent and talk to others as I am Pat's caregiver. Things have greatly improved with him but I am on this site for life!!!

    • Close Crohn's Disease & Ulcerative Colitis

      My husband is 63, has crohns plus other issues, has used Humira for 12 weeks. He is weak, tired and is having trouble with balance, this site is new to me so please be kind.

      Treatments

      Humira Working / Worked
      PLEASE do your research on this product. Husband has nerve damage. Neurologist looked up Humira and it mentions MS!!! He does not have MS, but he does have some of the symptoms.
    • Close Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

      I have had carpal tunnel for 28 years, since my first pregnancy. Had splints made but try going to the washroom in the middle of the night with those things on...ain't gonna happen! THe horrible thing is that I write reports for a living. I get what I call a ZING at times in my fingers and palm. It is so painful, altho brief that I could scream. Anyone else have this?

      Treatments

      Ibuprofen Working / Worked
      so-so
