Hi everyone, I haven't been on here in a while, but I have a question to ask. My doctor switched me to Humira a few weeks ago and I'm really not seeing any results. My fecal calprotectin level is still pretty high, but all the other markers are low. If the Humira's working I should be seeing results by now, right? Does anyone have any experience with Humira and how long it takes to get a response?

@timepiece1 Hello timepiece1, thank you opening this discussion and sharing what you've been dealing with. Let me tag some other members who may be able to weigh in.

Hello everyone, how are you today? For those of you who have been on Humira, what has your experience been like? How long did it take for the Humira to take effect? Has it helped your Crohn's overall?

My Dr told me that you should start seeing results after 3 months. I was on it for 2 yrs with no positive results. I hope it helps you..

I would like to see Carenity stop talking about COVID for starters. 
I’m about a month into Humira for UC / Crohn’s and still can’t decide if it’s helping or not, sometimes I think it is and others not, Any thoughts, like how long it should take to get a better idea?
