Hi Kim, thanks for sharing. The issue with your elbows sounds intense

Hi Colette, the planned biologic will make the Chrons worse

It is intense.

Lisa,
I started Simponia Aria last month. This next week on Wednesday will have my second infusion. I couldn’t take the biologic due being allergic to corticosteroids and Latex. I’m praying I don’t have any allergic reactions on this infusion on Wednesday.
I don’t have Chrohn’s but been diagnosed with Ankylosing Spindalitis.
Does anyone have issues with your elbows getting red, warm to touch, and can’t stand to lay my arms on the couch or cars console. It seems to only happen when I begin to have a flare up. My hands turn bright red half way down my hands to my fingertips. This has just begun to happen in the last 4 months.

Thank you,
Kim

May i ask why you couldn’t take the planned biologic?
I wish you all the best on your infusion.
I start Cimzia on March 18. Keeping my fingered crossed.
❤️
