I'm about to start taking humira for my ulcerative colitis and I have a few questions for those who are taking it.

How do you feel after you take it? What about the day after? I've seen some people compare it to a hangover? Also I know it supresses the immune system, do any of you grt sick more now? How effective has it been in treating your colitis?

I'm also 20 years old and I have a six month old daughter. I don't work right now but I'll be going for my cna liscene very aoon.

    Unfortunately Humira didn't work for me, but the after the first two loading dose's I felt pretty rough two days later just very tried my injections were Fridays so was rough on Sunday so didn't interfer with work was worried about injecting myself but that was so easy and only one every two weeks by week five could tell there was no improvement so have started Entyvio only had two loading dose's so waiting to see or the next stage is surgery which I do not want I would stay on steriods but they keep trying toget me of them

    GOOD LUCK WITH HUMRIA

      Define, what you mean by you felt pretty rough?

      And did you get sick a lot on it?

      Felt very tried and ended up going to bed and sleeping this was only on the Sunday and only after the first two loading dose's didn't feel sick at all In fact the Saturday I would have a burst of energy for the day
