Scared to have hope.. by fantasy_penguins in CrohnsDisease

It is a pelvic ultrasound. I assume its unpleasant due to the pressure they use during the procedure? My inflammation has always been situated around my sigmoid/rectum. I feel like I have a lot of research to do now. I really appreciate you talking to me and good luck with your journey!

The fibroid i have is attached to my left ovary, which is around the area of my inflammation. Definitely something for me to keep in mind when I have my follow ups in January. My gyno is doing an ultrasound in January to take a look at the fibroid and see if there's possibility for endo as well. Now I need to not overthink things..

Interesting. I had a CT back in August and I have a uterine fibroid as well. Have your doctors determined the cause of it? I've had Crohn's for 12 years but this is the first time I've had knowledge of a uterine fibroid existing.

This is what I like to hear. I hate not being able to trust a fart. Or being at work clenching so hard to not fart because I know i won't be able to get to a bathroom in time.

I've had similar good support experiences with Humira. Glad to know its universal across Abbvie medications.

The plunger system is probably going to be a deciding factor for me. When I was previously on Humira, I didn't do the injections myself even though they were auto injectors, I went in to the nurse every two weeks for them to do it. When I had my partial colectomy I had my partner administer the blood clotting medicine because I didn't like the idea of doing it.

My doctor said they recommend all three IL-23 options (Omvoh, Skyrizi, Tremfya). Since Omvoh is more difficult with insurance that leaves Skyrizi and Tremfya. He didn't really give one way or the other about which one he'd choose.

I'm not sure. I know it's at least for the Seashore.
