Humira with crohns/colitis

I have had crohns/ colitis ( kinda floating between the 2 depending on what docs i see lol. Anyway, they have been talking about putting me on humira to help with the condition as its not settled any. I had an op in feb and now have a stoma as a result, the bleeding from my rectum has never stopped since it first started and has recently been worse. I had an MRI 2 weeks ago to check for infection before starting humira. Unfortunatly there they found a growth on my cervix (just my luck) now awaiting to see what the growth is, cancerous etc and what needs to be done.
So, question is, has anyone tried the humira for their condition and if so, did it work?
I feel sooo fed up, 1 step forward, 10 steps back each time i think im getting somewhere...then bang! another problem!

Sorry to hear all you problems. I just started Humira after being on Remicade for about 5 years. Too soon to see if it makes a difference. Thinking about checking into disability.

I was on a site earlier called nacc....a few on there have applied for disability and i think they got it too...my other half said i should try! I dont think i have muych chance of working for a long time until all my problems are sorted and under control. It drives me crazy some days!
Please let me know how it goes with you and being on humira....do you inject it yourself?
Thank you for replying, its nice to hear from someone in same situation as myself!

    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...
