Ladybug07 and coyotee, I am sorry to read about your Crohn's Disease Dx.

Humira, and the various other TNF-blocking monoclonal antibodies are often highly effective.

One thing that you should be aware of is that because you have Crohn's Disease you are at a much increased risk of colon cancer - regular colonoscopy is highly recommended.

A dear IRL friend of mine died from colon cancer secondary to Crohn's Disease - please don't let that happen to you.
