Betsybecky, Any infection you experience while on Humira I would write Dr Beer about. Humira does increase your risk of infection, this is a well- known risk....
Lisa C. Thanks for posting this fertility diet. I will be saving this. Maybe some of these recipes would fit into to the new Immune Recipe file we are working...
Wow, LisaS... like you say, another Humira flare incident to add to our Humira flare stats!!! As you already know...yours is the story we see so often: Normal...
Ligia, Are you on the prednisone for +ANA or just as an immune precaution? Karen ... weeks, I can reduce to 10mg, and after 2nd u/s I can reduce to 5mg for a...
Lisa, Is there anything for NKUs other than Humira? Dr. Beer told LIT/IVIG do not help for NKUs (I have them too). Can you "wait out" the flair? I remember DB...
Lisa S. I'm so so sorry about the flare. That is a total bummer, but I really admire the way you are taking things in stride. Good for you! And great news...
ellasmom, I don't think you are getting off on the wrong foot at all. You've got great beta numbers, you'll be getting IVIg for the NK's, too. Also, Cyndi in...
great news, Miz! I am so happy for you! It's good you're going to Nogales earlier than originally planned. The LIT will really help you. Take care! Renée on...
Hi Pookine, Like Cortina, i also did not feel much pain at all with my endo biopsy. In fact it was very similar to a pap smear. I think it must depedn on a...
Miz, Did DB tell you to get LIT? I am wondering b/c each time I ask he tells me no and that IVIG will give the blocking antibodies needed. Danielle MM...
Lisa, Do you pay out of pocket for Humira? I had a bad flare after 3 shots and 1 Ivig. DB told me to do another IVIG, but I also suggested weekly Humira....
As far as I know, Ellasmom only did IVIG to get the cytokines to come down after stratospheric rise on Humira. No LIT or anything like that, right? Kristina ...
... But, what about the NKUs? DB said IVig won't work on those, because they don't have an off switch. My NKs were normal before the Humira...so if they go...
Hi Lisa S. Sorry about the flare you are having. For what it is worth, IVig did the trick for mine. I never went on Humira and only did IVig and mine went into...
... I think in the people he suggested waiting out the flare, their numbers didn't jump nearly as high or nearly as fast. I've only been on it 3 weeks and my...
How did I address this issue? Well....I just wanted cry at first and then I was mad because I wasted a lot of money and then I decided that no matter what Dr....
Who watched the Adoption special last night on 20/20? Personally, I was relieved that it wasn't as "Hollywood" as I had pictured in my head. I burst out crying...
... I do, unfortunately. ... My NKs were really not the original problem so I don't think this would work for me. Thanks though! ... I hope so too! ... Lisa...
... Thanks, Dawn....did you have NKUs or just NKs? My issue is that my NKs were normal (I think?). Even my cytokines were pretty normal - 23.8. However my...
... I'm probably going to let them come down on their own while I see if I can get IVig approved by my insurance. The good news is that the nurse at the ...
Lisa, This is exactly my concern about NOT doing the Humira. I'm leaning toward not doing it, consulting with DB Wed, but I'm afraid of not doing for exactly...
... It hasn't worked, from what I understand. Here's what I remember. The IVig attaches to the part of the NKs that turns them off. The NKUs have no such...
Hi Lisa, My #'s came down from the Humira flare considerably with thew IVIG. Maybe the same will hold true for you as well. Lisa C. ... <image.tiff> ... ...
Hello and congrats to all the pregnancy's- I have been checking in periodically and was happy to see that Cheryl had her babies. How is she and the twins? I...
So good to hear from you! It's been a long time! I am devastated by your news, but am so uplifted by your positive attitude and drive to push forward! You...
I watched it last night too - and was pleasently suprised that it wasn't all hype. I guess they pulled those trailers for the show last week because so manyy...
I watched it too last night and just found it hard to understand how she could give up her baby. I know I'm not in her shoes and will never be but boy...
Hi Jen!!! Long time no see. Sounds like you have been a busy woman lately. I think Ligia had a good suggestion for you getting pregnant next time with doing...
