My health is good, which is why I haven't had to write anything lately. The Humira shot this past Sunday produced a much less intense local reaction. Weird. I always take 25 mg of Benadryl, but for some reason the red, itchy patch was much smaller and not raised like usual. This is a blessing, but I'm perplexed.
I haven't had any flare-ups in my joints since mid June. A miracle, to say the least.
I'm doing some research into other treatment options for Crohn's. TNF-alpha blockers are just too intense. Too many strange, hidden (and unhidden) side effects. In my ideal world, I would have surgery to remove the diseased portion of my small intestine, then never have symptoms again. That would be a wonderful day in my life...
Until then, I will continue to trust the Lord one day at a time. He clearly is taking good care of me. :)
"And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well."
