The Side Effects of IBD They Don’t Always Tell You About

So today has been a whirl wind of a day! First off I FINALLY WAS WELL ENOUGH TO GO TO A HAIR SALON AND CHOP MY HAIR. I have not cut my hair since December minimum….. So this was a monumental moment.

My Experience with Humira

First off, I would like to say that I am doing a lot better than I was a couple weeks ago. Prednisone may be the devil’s pill, but it really does work wonders fast. Just usually comes with a cost.

Prednisone & Humira just don’t like me

This month I have definitely been slacking with the blog posts, which is a bummer because I have even planned my posts for the month, but unfortunately I didn’t really plan ahead at looking at my energy levels- which lately feels non-existent! My update: I have decided toContinueContinue reading “Prednisone & Humira just don’t like me”

The Downsides & Upsides

This will be an update post on my progress so far. It’s officially been a week since my loading dose of Humira and we are now officially down to 20 mg of Prednisone (I’m halfway there).
