Humira For Chrons?

(Lancashire england)
Hi i am 31 years old and have had chrons for the pas 12 years, i have already had 2 majour bowel operations and after spending 3 months in hospital last summer the 2nd operation hasnt worked, i have now been told i may have to have whats left of my colon totaly removed and a colostomy.
I have been put on the humira programme but dont know what to do due to already having a very low imune system due to steriods i am currently on 40mg daily along with a cocktail of medication, i have high bp and fibromalgia along with malabsorbtion of liver bile salts, I Have constant pain and pass motions aroun 10-12 times a day, as you can imagine i am very drained but i manage to work and have 2 lovely children that keep me going but i would love to do more with them and am at the point of not knowing what to do next for the best?
The humira is a option but the side affects are quite serious does anyone have any comments for me?
