Swelling and Exhaustion with Chrons?

Hi , I'm so glad that you've found and joined our community here. Getting a new diagnosis can bring with a lot of emotions, including being relieved to finally have some answers. But there is also that mental aspect of figuring things out while managing a chronic condition and navigating treatment options. I hope that our community here can share their experiences with Humira. It certainly can be overwhelming and nerve-racking to be starting a new medication (on top of a new diagnosis), and I can assure you that you are not alone. I also want to share a link to an article where our advocate, Jenna, wrote about her experience with Humira, https://inflammatoryboweldisease.net/living/humira-journey. As well as her tips for injections, https://inflammatoryboweldisease.net/living/7-tips-injecting-medication. I really do hope that you are able to get some relief. In the meantime, have you been able to reach out to your doctor about your current symptoms? It's always a good idea to check with your doctor if you're having new and/or worsening symptoms. It could be due to coming off the Budesonide, but it's always good to check, especially when there are chest pains and swelling. Please let us know how you're doing, and reach out here any time. Wishing you a gentle day. -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)
