Hi I'm new to this forum and have been interested in so many other people's experiences, so I finally decided to start posting my own. I am 20 years old and went from being diagnosed with ulcerative colitis at age 17, and now being diagnosed with Crohns colitis since August. My azathioprine starting failing to work in July, and I eventually was told to stop it in October. After being tapered off prednisone again, trying lialda and 6 MP, and starting entocort, (all failures) I am finally accepting my doctors advice that I need to start humira. I just made the call and I am so nervous after reading side effects (particularly unusual cancers in young adults). Does anyone have any advice about humira? Or even how to inject it in the least painful way? Anything would be helpful because I do not know much about it!
Thank you!
Thank you!
