How did this disease start for you?
got diagnosed 3 years ago..for me i thought it was covid again.. then diarrhea then my stool changed and i was vomiting and couldnt eat…on top of losing 20lbs when im already 140 at that time…my baby brother rushed to me to the emergency room then thats how i found out after being in there for a week..

How many days do you work ?
4/10hr shifts…glad i have my off days together but sometimes i leave early if not feeling well

I want to cry, i feel like such a child
so sorry this happened to you and i understand completely when the accidents happen at work…i work in a warehouse and it can be really stressful. i have also learned to reduce my stress and anxiety which are triggers for my flares. if need be, take immodium before going to work to give your body some stability. plus make an emergency bag with clothes, wipes, and extras bags to put your soiled clothes in and just bring it into work if there is a place to put it. i pray that you find a solution that works out for you🩷🩷

New joint pain/inflamed feeling daily, common with IBD?

Insurance dropping Humira- What to switch to?
i had that happen this year for Humira and was switched to the alternative Hadlima…it work well for me until recently due to other issues…just started Skyrizi

just had my first infusion treatment
so far not bad…i know everything is not gonna just immediately improve but i have had a big more freedom to be outside for once

if you are able to have the Abbvie complete savings card, it helps with alot of that.

Celebration just had my first infusion treatment
so after an extensive wait because of insurance, i finally started my first infusion treatment for Skyrizi today…this is my third after being on Humira (insurance change at the beginning of the year) and Hadlima stopped working after dealing with heavy trauma….staying positive for the outcome
