Hello everyone, my name is Teresa and I am new to this forum. Actually, I've never even been in a forum ever. . . so you just type and wait for others to respond I guess? I've had Crohn's Disease for 14 years now and am just now beginning to really understand and own the disease. I was diagnosed young, 11 years old, and never quite took it seriously. Anyway, just got out of the hospital yesterday after a week-long stay due to a small-bowel obstruction, second time in a month! This time I've learned I need to watch what I eat! So they put me on Prednisone, as they have many, many times before, and as we all I'm sure know, is only a temporary solution. So sorry, that is just my back story, but what I'm also wondering about is Humira. My doctor is going to put me on that, Remicade, or asacol. From reading all the above replies I must say Humira sounds quite frighhtening! Is it worth the pain, rashes etc.? I've also read about many other just as scary side effects. I'm in desperate need of a new med, as I do not want another flare-up, obstruction, surgery or otherwise. I haven't been on any steady meds for Crohn's since I was a child, so I'm pretty much up to try anything, even Humira if need be. Any other good meds out there that have worked for ya'll? Thanks in advance, and for your patience in reading all this! Again, I'm new, I suppose you don't need my whole story haha
