Ulcerative Colitis
"I was diagnosed with UC and Crohn&rsquo;s almost 14 years ago when I was 7. I exhausted my treatment options this year so I was approved for the biological Humira. After the initial loading dose I thought I was seeing improvement but it was hard to tell as I was also on prednisone to control my flare. After my second two injections I woke up the next morning with my symptoms in full swing again. I know it takes time to start working so I just went with it. About a week later I started experiencing bad back pain and thought I had pulled a muscle when I went to the ER they found multiple pulmonary embolisms in my lungs and kept me in the hospital for 9 days (they never found the cause for this so I say humira ) then back 2weeks later for a UC flare"
