:sign0085:I have had pain in the right side of my abdomen, at my surgery site. I am on Humira, Budesonide, and Loperimide to control the "D". My "D" has been gradually getting worse over the last few months. More trips to the bathroom, more pain.
Yesterday I went to the G.I. and he has put me on Flagyl. He says there is a possibility that I could have a bacterial infection. If that is what is going on, hopefully Flagyl will beat it down and that will be it. However, if not, he has also scheduled me for a colonoscopy on Feb. 8th. He wants to take a look at what is going on in there. He said that it probably is the Crohn's. He said that we would probably need to "tweak" my Humira prescription. I suspect that means going to weekly injections, or adding methotrexate.
I hope I'm wrong. I have been on Humira since June of 2011. If my body is adjusting to the med this quickly, there are only so many biologics out there that are approved for Crohn's. What am I going to do in 5 years or so if I can take any of those anymore? :depressed:
