Hello! I recently joined and have read your messages. I thought my experiences and my future experiences would be helpful! I'm 35 and have had Crohn's since 2003. In June of 2005, it became 'active'. Since then i have been in the hospital 10 times, 1 major surgery for fistulas, abcess, and a little portion of diseased intestine removed in Nov of 2005. Also 2 or 3 'little surgeries' for fistulas and 1 surgery in August of 2006 to reverse the 'bag'. My most recent surgery was May of 2007, where I had to have a hernia repaired. My experience with drugs, well believe me it has been an experience. For example, Asacol did nothing for me. Imuran gave me pancreatitis. Prednisone helped with the pain but left me 40 pounds heavier because of my increased hunger. So I was put on Remicade in October of 2005 however after six LONG months on that I developed 'drug induced lupus' so I was real happy to get off that. Well, after that I was placed on Methotrexate (fall of 2006) which isn't really helping. I am also on Lomotil and Pentasa. Well, i am starting on Humira on Monday. So this drug will hopefully help me! I am interested in hearing about anybody's results, good or bad!
