    • 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!!!

      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.
