Other than that my general health is fine, or as fine as can be expected. I would just rather have a drug that doesn't give me any side effects. Any thoughts out there?

I'm taking Humira for Crohn's arthritis and it is starting to work for me. I had mod-severe pain in all the major joint, lower back and neck. Now its 75% better after 2 months. I know joint pain can be a side effect of Humira but it is also a complication of crohn's. It could be that is what you're experiencing. Have you tried Remicaid? Unfortunately I get my best relief with prednisone 12.5mg daily for my GI symptoms. Soon I'll be weaned of that and the Imuran to see if the humira is helping all my symptoms. I know crohn's is so devastating. My son got diagnosed at 16yr and now his son 8yo has it too. i wish you well and if I can answer any other questions just ask.
thanks,
pat
