Your comment "just don't want to deal with this right now".. I swear it matters not what is going on in my life.. I never want to deal with this disease.. ugh.. miserable. And yes, good mantra - my sister is very similar to you, your views and your way of managing. Kudos! Hope you are feeling better these days!

I started humira last spring and it's made a world of difference. The winter was hard on me, I'm chalking it up to depression and maybe just the grey winter months. Once spring got here, I started feeling better.. more energy, more interest. I also increased my antidepressant about the same time, so could be related to that too. Regardless, I feel sort of human again! :) Good to hear from you! Hi Joanna – good to hear from you (even if I’m really late replying to this!).

How have you been feeling? I just got on Humira about 4 weeks ago and my life has improved a lot. I was basically bedridden for 4 months 50% of the time.... now I am functional! Thinking of you..... :) Joanna It’s been a long time since I visited…

(it worked for me too and much easier than having to go sit for Remicade) I used to like to get the Humira needles cause then I could watch the needle going in and I could do it myself. The pens I used to make my bf shoot me up cause i was too chicken to do it. Depression goes along with any chronic illness and it's great you have treated yours as well as it sounds you have. It's all about what meds and treatment work for you. There are SOOO many antidepressants on the market right now and their safety has much improved from years ago. Crohn's straight up sucks. I was diagnosed @ 16, been thru every med available, had a bowel ressection, it came back, and have been ok for 2 years but am now in the midsts of a flare. I am 28, a registered nurse,just started a new job, in a stable relationship of 5 years and just don't want to deal with this right now. But things will get better. Keep that as your mantra and you cannot go wrong. Good luck that’s great Judi that the Humira is working for you!!
