      I was diagnosed with uc in 2006 and have not had a normal day since. Doc found granulomas in my last colonoscopy and changed diagnosis to cd. Started humira on tuesday. Hope it works. All I want is to have enough energy to play with my little girl

      Treatments

      Asacol Not Working
      Made no difference
      Azathioprine Somewhat Helpful
      It did help a bit but i was very nauseous. Had to stop because my white blood cell count dropped
      Dietary Modification Somewhat Helpful
      Flagyl Somewhat Helpful
      Horribly nauseating!!!
      Medrol Working / Worked
      Only worked on high doses.
      Prednisone Working / Worked
      Worked only on more than 20mg daily. Doc says this is not a longterm solution as it may cause other diseases
      Probiotics Somewhat Helpful
      Not sure if it's really doing anything
      Humira Too Soon to Tell
      Bleeding has stopped but it will take time according to doc. Have developed injection site reaction
