But when the SCD and meds (Sulfasalazine and Liadal) did not quell a very prolonged and stubborn flare, I decided that comfort and quality of life were worth any risks. I do not regret my decision for a second. For full disclosure, I have Crohn's too and Humira is indicated for both conditions. I have either run, biked, hiked, played golf, or played ice hockey every day since starting Humira. I feel that it is my duty to take advantage of how well I feel. Not bragging, just happy to finally feel like a normal person after 22 years of constant pain. You owe it to yourself to give either Humira or another biological a try.


That's awesome news! smile
