"New Member My Story"

Hello, I'm new to the forum so here's my story.My name is Patrice I'm 30yrs old and was diagnosed with Crohns in1990 when I was 8yrs old. Never really was bothered with Crohns as a kid after being diagnosed. In 2006 it hit me hard. had a lower bowel ressection due to an abscess. Stuggled for a couple yrs trying to find. the best meds for me. I was in remission on imuran up until a couple weeks ago. And I'm currently being considered for Humira. Well that's me in a nutshell. Looking forward to interacting with the members and making new friends who have been diagnosed.

Hello and welcome to the forum

I am sorry to hear that the tum is acting again on you, I have not been on Humira myself but we do have a sub forum for this that is worth checking out to get further info about being on this: http://www.crohnsforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=59.

I will be keeping fingers crossed that you can be feeling better again soon.

Welcome,

Crohn's likes to sneak up on us, that's for sure.

I have not used Humira either, but I sure hope it works for you.

Let us know how this turns out.

I also was on imuran for about 6 years. It did great and then there was a time I was on nothing. Just recently I have been put back on prednisone. I am curious to know about this humera as well. I hope all goes well for you. Just remembef that it can and will get better.

Thanks you guys for the warm welcome I spoke with my dr yesterday and he described a new treatment he'd like me to try instead of humira its certolizumba also an self injection so I read up on it and it seems to be a GO for me. So I'll see how it goes and update

Hi Patrice and welcome! The common name people call certolizumab is Cimzia. In fact, we have a forum dedicated to Cimzia located here if you'd like to connect with other members who are on it.

Again, welcome, I'm glad you joined.
