c diff negative

Hi all,

It helps that my mom is the chief pathologist's secretary.  She called me about an hour ago and informed me that my C diff results from this morning are in and they are negative.  Now it is a wait to see when my pharmacy will get my Humira in.  When I spoke to my GI yesterday he informed me that it is now approved thru my insurance. 

When I get my loading doses what do I do?  DO I call the GI office and bring them there with me when I see him in Oct or do I set up a time sooner than that?

Sorry new to humira, I know the remicade drill.  Do any of you premed with benedryl or tylenol before humira injections?

Thanks

Stef

I was on lots of ABs throughout my 2 CD related surgeries this year. That can actually throw off your body creating a breeding ground for C diff. They wanted to make sure my D was not being caused by that since I have had D since my ostomy reversal 3 months ago. I plan on picking up the humira tomorrow and calling the GI office to hopefully set up my loading dose/instructions either for tomorrow (would have 2 b with a nurse my GI has Thursdays off from appts) or see him on Friday. Hopefully with doing this I will know what to expect the following dose and see if it would be better for me to get on a friday night rather than during the week.
