I have a mild case of Crohn's. My doctor has put me on Humira and it is a miracle drug. Ever since starting the medicine I have been in remission (5+ years).
I find staying active and eating healthy diets also really helps.
- killjoywashere 5y agoHumira covers a lot of ground in auto-immune disease. toastyCheese is not exagerating to call it a miracle drug, but it is not the only miracle drug. There are other anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies, such as Rituxan, so don't get overly fixated on just one brand name.
- epgui 5y agoThis space is moving extremely quickly, and there are a bunch of other targets with drugs currently on the market or under investigation and showing results. I have to say the progress in recent years has been extremely exciting.
