Back story- I started Imuran in November, and Humira in December. I was originally told 8-12 weeks til wed know if Humira was working. Now that its been longer than that, and another steroid taper has failed, Im being told "Oh well it can take a year or even 2 before we really know" and that "we dont really have any other options past humira", despite having only tried Asacol (failed), Imuran (not enough) and Humira.
Additionally... my GI is on the news recently because a patient went to the local media about the fact that the printouts she was given at the doctors office were printed on the backside of papers that contained patient information on the other side. Doctors response to the news reporter was to ask for proof this had happened and when that was provided to say she couldnt comment til she had spoken to counsel. that was a couple weeks ago and to date I have no info on how many patients had their info compromised, if i was one of them, and what if anything is being done to address this.
As if this was not enough, the switch from prednisone oral to solumedrol oral has not been an improvement, and im dealing with a VERY stressful personal situation, which coincides with a rather nasty bout of nausea, D, and no appetite since thursday.
