HUMIRA TAKING AGES TO KICK IN!!
by ASAD
I have been on Azathioprine and prednisilone for 2 months - STILL HAD upset stomach. I then went onto Humira injections 40mg 1 shot every 2 wks... been on this for 2 months - AGAIN bad stomach now i'm back on prednisilone ( which causes weight gain ) and also back on 2 azathioprine and 1 HUMIRA INJECTION 40mg every 2 wks... dr wants me to do this for 6 wks and then see what happens - if again stomach is bad he'll go to 3 azathioprines...!! he didn't want me to increase my humira - why? well too expensive he said....and he thinkt its not working.. although my blood levels have gone down... did tell him well i have tried azathioprine + prednisilone for 2 months mate and nothing...but he reckons try it again but this time with the injections at same time.. feel i'm banging my head against brick wall - it does get me down..and basically i am disabled by this disease.. i can no longer go to cinemas - i never missed a film when at a cinema but recently i'd find myself running out to the toilet...due to chrons... also i can't go into town at lunch time in case of urgent need to go toilet...i can't even go into town wiht my girlfriend and send her to do shopping... life's a killer!!.... |
