Hi, I'm Linda and mom to Travis. I have had Crohn's for 25 years. Over Christmas, my 19 yr old son was diagnosed with Crohn's. Needless to say, I feel horrible!! I'm on Humira and it works for me so our GI started him right on the Humira. Unfortunately, he just started a military career (I had to send him back to base today :-( ) and now we wait to see if the military will discharge him. It's been his dream for a long time.... so now I feel horrible about "giving him" (yes, I know) the Crohns as well as it affecting his career.
My GI wanted to put him on 6mp along with the Humira, but we opted not to due to an increased risk of certain type of cancer. Does anyone else here have a teenager on Humira? Any advice?
