ulcerative colitis
"I had been on almost every medication and was on Prednisone for 2 years.  I was at the end of my rope and thought I'd never get better.  I reluctantly took Humira and I was so scared of giving myself shots.  After the initial loading 4 I cried.  I started out taking a shot every 2 weeks and it took me quite a while to actually depress the injector.  I have now been on Humira weekly for over a year and my life is quite different.  I am glad to get up in the morning, happy to go to work, elated to go the grocery store - all without scoping out a restroom first.  I feel alive for the first time since I was diagnosed.  I wait everyday for the Humira to quit working and I hope it doesn't.  For now I'll take what it has given me."
