I have a very long history of CD and have been through every treatment they create, including every drug trial my GAstro can find. I went for the Humira in Sept. 2006 and was denied because the FDA hadn't approved it for CD. I needed surgery or a miracle. The FDA approved on Feb 28, I took delivery Mar 3rd and and by Mar 10th, I knew I had something I had never had before relief... Abbott's patient assistance program helps me with cost, but truthfully, I would go into debt to feel this good. Highly recommended..

I to started Humria in March. It help so good for the first couple months. Now when I take the injection Im good so about 4 or 5 days which Ill gladly take but by the second week Im back to the incontence, pain and fatigue. I have been on Remiciade, prednisone,Pentasa,Entocort,almost everything.

I am on Prednisone and 6-MP as well and went into a flair back in April. I decided to try Remicade. I had 3 doses and it make me SO SICK. Violent vomiting off and on. By the time I was feeling better, it was time for my next treatment! I'm quitting the Remicade and am thinking about trying Humira too.

My husband started Humira about 4 weeks ago, and experienced the same thing as chehardy7 - really good at first, no flares for 3 weeks, then all of a sudden big flare with week-long hospital stay. He too has tried many medications, and they are looking at surgery. I don't want to sound so negative - I have heard wonderful things about Humira from many people. Best of luck to you! :)
