Not all doctors are like the ones you have been dealing with. If I was you, I would find a new doctor, get the scope so you can get a diagnosis and your insurance will cover biologics. I would also...
No. I don't know if I have osteoporosis yet, but I don't know why else I would get a fracture from walking 2 easy miles. And I've been on a ton of prednisone. That would be good if I could run. Thank...
I'd be asking my doctor if I saw no improvements after 2 weeks....
Did my 3rd injection today. Liquid came out again. Frustrating not knowing if I'm even getting enough of the medicine. It went perfectly last time when I was on the phone with the Humira rep. I think...
Ok, that's good to hear. I read online you aren't supposed to run if you have osteoporosis. I haven't even ran since this summer. I don't even know if I have it yet, just assuming so. My scan is next...
I see. Thank you for the info. Very worried. I want to be a runner again. I need to at least be able to go for walks without getting a stress fracture to maintain my sanity......
Do you see a separate doctor for the osteoporosis? Have you been able to reverse it at all? You're my age, so I'm just curious what they told you regarding outlook. Also, why didn't you try Humira?...

That's great! I'm glad you decided to take it. I really think you'll be fine....
The anxiety from prednisone usually doesn't start until you've been on it awhile. Five days is not long at all. I've taken it many times. If you only take 20 mg for 5 days, that's like nothing, in my...
When are you having your ultrasound Chrissy?...
Yeah, I even told her my GI explained the risks to me and that he said I could probably stop taking it after a year and maybe even after 6 months if I wanted to and she acted like a year was still...
Ok. I don't have herpes, thank god. It's hard to find much online about people who had HPV show up in their rectum. :/ I guess most people probably never even know. I just happened to know since I...
That's crazy!!! I have no idea what it means....
This has nothing to do with my stress fracture, but I had a yearly dermatology check-up today. My gastro. doctor told me to start getting those since I am now on Humira and Imuran. I have a lot of...
