New Member - Question on Reaction to Meds   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #4254 of 5061 |
Hi everyone. I'm 62 yrs old and was diagnosed w/moderate to severe
Crohn's Disease 5 years ago although I've probably had it for 30
years. I've been hospitalized several times with blockages. I also
have asthma & many allergies. My allergic reaction is often severe.
For example after 8 treatments of Remicade, my throat began to close
due to an allergic reaction. I really looked forward to Remicade
until I developed that allergy & had to stop taking it.

Which brings me to my question. Anybody out there taking Humira?
Any reactions?

I give myself a shot of Humira weekly. So far (5 weeks), it is
great (reduced bloating big time, reduced # of visits to the
bathroom, seldom have diahrrea) but I am worried about developing an
allergy.

I appreciate any feedback.

Thanks

Patt
