Hello Everyone,
My doctors recently put me on Humira. I inject it into my stomach every other week. Injecting my stomach with a shot is not fun but I'm getting use to it. It's been an amazing drug and has cut my abdominal pain by 75%. I also seem to have more energy.
Humira is very expensive but well worth it. Right now, the Air Force is picking up the bill but if they separate me because of my Crohnss, I will have to find a civilian Health Insure company that covers it or try to go through the VA.
I wish everyone the best of luck with there Health Care. I am very fortunate to be in the military and have it paid. I know many of you are not that fortunate. Please get the word out to your doctors to get Humira covered under there plans.
Have a good weekend.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Good Luck
