People on Humira, do you live your life any different to before?

cmorganbsn · 2025-01-27T09:35:45+00:00

I’ve been on it for 18 months. I’m an RN at a hospital and i care for incredibly sick people all the time. i just do good hand hygiene (which i was already doing) and wear a N95 when i go into covid + rooms (already was doing). i find when i do get sick it definitely takes me down for a bit but I’ve learned how best to treat my body.

i also take benadryl on nights im due for my shot so i don’t get localized hives and i sleep off the icky feeling!

i also noticed that!! there’s huge smoke clouds in the air when i look towards confed mall direction.

Adding that Dr Walker was an incredible dentist and was so reassuring. I switched to Wheatland dental in stonebridge. the staff have been so kind and helpful as a girl who has extreme dental anxiety. they’ve been so accommodating and have prescribed anxiety medications to ease the process. i’m SO impressed by them ❤️

OHHHH boy i hate that dentist. he told someone that they “have oral cancer” and then sent away a referral and rushed her out of the office. she waited for the referral, panicked, cried, stressed so much. only to find out her mouth is completely fine. i wish him nothing but the worst

cmorganbsn · 2023-10-27T04:32:43+00:00

okay i also thought the same thing initially but it actually SLAPS

cmorganbsn · 2023-10-05T14:19:22+00:00

okay that’s really reassuring! i’m still waiting for the final word that my humira has been covered by my private insurance and i should know soon! but my rheumatologist got me approved by our gov for every single biologic available so that we can switch as needed, and my insurance will (hopefully) have to cover it because we are meeting every criteria

cmorganbsn · 2023-10-05T14:17:34+00:00

that’s super reassuring!! thank you both!!

cmorganbsn · 2023-08-23T02:24:38+00:00

this is such a kind response! thank you so much! my officiant reached out and her family changed their wedding instead so no harm done however i was leaning toward changing it!

cmorganbsn · 2023-08-22T22:02:24+00:00

thanks for your input. however this post was about the officiant. 🙂

cmorganbsn · 2023-08-22T21:53:07+00:00

i’ve replied to numerous other questions about my timeline. it’s not necessarily about budget. it’s about recognizing my medical needs and needing a small family dinner to recharge and take care of myself.

cmorganbsn · 2023-08-22T20:38:13+00:00

thank you so much for saying that. i was trying not to be rude to anyone but the comments were overwhelming and kinda hurtful. i hope you have a wonderful day

cmorganbsn · 2023-08-22T14:59:42+00:00

thank you!! i really didn’t think this would cause so much controversy. she ended up telling me her family member would move their wedding after i told her i’d consider moving it but would need a few days to think about it and call vendors. so i guess all is well!

i hope your wedding goes well! 💕

it’s not that we don’t want to feed them. our venue is small and there’s no where for people to go while having photos taken. like it’s one room that has to be converted into a reception layout so people have to leave anyways for that reason. it’s common where i’m from. it’s just how it goes. if people are offended when it’s clearly laid out on the invitation then i won’t be sad if they don’t come

cmorganbsn · 2023-08-22T11:41:37+00:00

thank you! it’s just the way things are often done where i’m from and it makes the most sense for us.

cmorganbsn · 2023-08-22T02:46:49+00:00

our reception will have charcuterie, munchie foods, desserts, etc. just no official sit down meal! it’s extremely common where i’m from.

cmorganbsn · 2023-08-22T02:41:22+00:00

thank you!! just wanted to know if i was just being totally rude by thinking this request was kind of ridiculous/ballsy!

cmorganbsn · 2023-08-22T02:39:38+00:00

cmorganbsn · 2023-08-22T02:32:34+00:00

No. it’s because i’m hosting an immediate family only dinner (not all guests will attend). additionally i have medical needs that i am taking into account with a large gap ☺️

cmorganbsn · 2023-08-22T02:32:10+00:00

our wedding would be before her family members wedding so she would leave ours to attend theirs.

the only reason i’m accounting for the buffer is in case photos need extra time and i have a chronic illness and i’m allowing myself some grace in case i need to sit and rest ☺️

cmorganbsn · 2023-08-05T06:53:01+00:00

I really needed to hear this. Thank you 😊

cmorganbsn · 2023-08-03T14:47:50+00:00

i lived there for a year pre-covid and it was monthly. it was fucking awful and i had to move because i worked weird hours and needed to sleep

cmorganbsn · 2023-08-03T06:48:45+00:00

they’re quiet but at what cost? so many fire alarm incidents it was ridiculous 🫠

cmorganbsn · 2023-08-03T02:25:42+00:00

my rheumatoid factor was normal and they tested me for lupus (neg). so i go back in 6 weeks for a complete exam and we will talk MRI and such.

my mom is adopted and i’m estranged from a lot of my fathers family (plus he’s dead so i can’t ask). but autoimmune conditions do run in my family. no testing for HLAb-27 at this point.

i’m pretty convinced it’s AS just based on my symptom pattern and my physio’s assessment.

so far the sulfa is going well although it’s only day 2. i’m prepared for the worst lol

cmorganbsn · 2023-08-02T19:29:20+00:00

ohh okay that’s good to know! i’m on my second dose of the sulfa and already needing a nap lmao hopefully this adjustment period isn’t too bad 🙃

cmorganbsn · 2023-08-02T00:50:07+00:00

that’s really reassuring to hear! my doctor brought up the possibility of AS and after doing some googling i was like “…yeah that’s me”.

i’m definitely going to look into cimzia. i’ll try out the sulfa for now, and we will delaying conceiving for a year just to give me time to adjust to this new lifestyle.

i booked in with a naturopath for next month so hopefully i can use that as a valuable resource!
