I am wondering if anyone used Humira before Remicade? My Dr had me use Humira 1st and it didn't work for me. Now that I used it, Remicade may not work either and then I would need surgery. I would like to hear form anyone else who used Humira 1st???

Thanks

Just wanted to thanks everyone for thier comments about my Humira video. I wish it had of worked better for me...I know am trying methoraxte by IM once a week, not as painful as the Humira and the once a week doesn't seem as bad compared to some of the pills when you have to take a handful by mouth. I have been thinking about a Crohn's journal online..to express some of my feelings about this as I am sure some where someone feel the same way I do.

Happy New Year

I have taken all the differnt meds for CD and now take Imuran and Lyrica. I have had prblems with all the meds and am waiting for more test and results, always waiting for an answer. I wish you the best of luck with Humira if you use it! Thanks for your comment!

I got my second treatment on march 11, the really crappy part was the my presription was written wrong and I got less then what I needed so this time I had to get 4 injections, and it hurt like hell, i cried and decided not to put them online. My legs bruised really bad as I was tense because I knoew how much it would hurt. I swear if I hear " I don't know how that happened" once more from a DR I may start screaming and never stop. I just want to not spend half my time on the toliet.

dang that looks painful im sorry :~( im on remicade its amazing i responded to it when nothing else worked

im not sure if you doing remicade if the humira doesnt work is a good idea because theyre both basically the same thing

Remicade works amazingly... but starts to stop working (with me at least) 2 and a half years thru it. I switched to Humira and after a year and a half it too is starting not to work. Its time to try something new. Stay strong people. and support the CCFA.

I give myself Humira shots every two weeks due to Crohns. Best place to give the shot is in the stomach area off to the side near the belly button. The shot is not painful. The leg area hurts more.

i was crippled before i got on it after i used it week later i could run again...best shot i ever had!

I used Remicade for years before switching over to Humira for treatment of my Crohn's Disease which I have had for 18 years. I have since been taking Humira since 2008 and I feel a lot better. I HATE taking the shots (every 2 weeks) because of the pain associated with the needle entering and pumping medication in. What I HAVE found to work is NUMBING the area with ICE in a plastic freezer bag for about 30mins to 1 hour BEFORE injection. This may help you and it will DEFINITELY alleviate Pain!

did u say you are in remission due do mmj? :) im probably going to move to cali after i graduate in may so i can get my Rx.

[funkkysegaboy]

i found remicade may have worked a little better. i used humira on the recommended dose and it wasnt enough so now im on once a week and it is much better in combination with some other Rx. icing the spot helps a lot!!
