HORRIBLE ARTHRITIS EVERYWHERE!  It hurts to do everything! Possible kidney infection last Friday that is being treated with Cipro! Saw the GI Doc today and told him about holding off on the Humira dose until I saw him re: side-effects/infection?.  HE ASKED ME IF I HAD EVER BEEN TESTED FOR RHUMATOID ARTHRITIS! I told him I didn't think so?  HE TOLD ME CROHN'S CAN CAUSE JOINT PAIN (DUH!) I told him never had this severe problem before Humira!  AFTER EXAMINATION, HE TOLD ME TO TAKE 40 MG PREDNISONE (Which he knows makes me nuts!) FOR A WEEK THEN RESUME HUMIRA IF THE ARTHRITIS IS GONE..... IF IT HASN'T HE WANTS ME TO SEE A RHUMATOLOGIST AND NOT TAKE HUMIRA!!!! HE SAID IF ARTHRITIS ISN'T GONE, "WE'RE BASICALLY SCREWED WHEN IT COMES TO OPTIONS FOR TREATING YOUR CROHN'S" (His words) 

I've also pointed out what seems to be swelling in my lymph nodes & front of neck to three doctors in the last week, they say either slightly swollen or fine.... THEY DON'T FEEL FINE TO ME!

.....AND THE MORNING NAUSEA/VOMITING BEGAN RETURNING 2 DAYS AGO, ALONG WITH OTHER CROHN'S SYMPTOMS

WTF!!!............SERIOUSLY!!!

ARE THEY TRYING TO KILL ME OR WHAT??? I THINK I MAY BE MISDIAGNOSED HERE.... ANYONE HAVE SUGGESTIONS????
