So everything is going good regarding the humria, there hasn't been any nasty side effects like the previous Crohn's medication thank goodness. The one and only side effect that I have noticed is it has made me very tired, the first night after I had the injections I slept for 19 hours. Last night I slept for 16 hours so I am gradually sleeping less and less, a lot of people are not normally happy with feeling really tired but as someone who suffers from insomnia I think it's great because I can finally get some decent nights sleep.

So I had absolutely no reason to worry about these hurmia injections because they were super duper easy to do. The IBD nurse asked if I wanted her to do the first injection but I thought I should just take the bull by the horns and do it myself because normally the more I think about things the more stressed out I get.
The injection was pretty simple all you had to do was check the expiry date, make sure there was a bubble, take the caps off and then inject. A good thing about using the humria pens is you don't see the needle (I will do a more in depth post on my humria experience on my other blog).
At the moment I haven't noticed any side effects which is amazing because when I have taken Crohn's medication in the past I always start suffering with sickness and stomach issues but it really doesn't look like that this is going to happen this time.

Tomorrow is humria injection day. I am so glad that it is here but I am also really nervous about it as it will be the first time that I have injected myself. Nowadays everybody does there own humria or methotrexate injections but back in the day when I had methotrexate it was given to me by a hospital ward nurse, oh how times have changed in such a short period of time.

So I have gone from not being able to sleep to sleeping all the time, I have given up on trying to understand how my body works. I have also started to have fever's which I really hope is Crohn's related because I don't want to have to delay the start of my humria treatment.
So today I got an early birthday present in the mail and I couldn't make up my weather I should open it or not because my birthday isn't until the 3rd of February, but the temptation was too much and I had to open it. So in my package was 2 pair of pj's and a hoodie from David and Goliath.
These are amazing birthday present's, I am such a lucky person.

Only 5 more days until I start hurmia and it can't come soon enough because I am so sick of feeling rubbish every single day. I would be lying if I didn't say I was really nervous or maybe scared is a better word to use as all previous medication failed to touch my Crohn's. I am so scared that the same thing is going to happen with humria and then I am going to be left with no other medication option. Yes there is a new drug coming out called Vedolizumab but from what I have read about it, it is effective at treating Colitis but not so effective at treating with Crohn's.

Well my New Year has been very quiet one as I don't get the of the whole New Year thing, honestly I think is one of the most overrated holiday's. Everybody is like New Year, new start but it has never been like that for me I go to bed sick on new year's eve and wake up sick on New Year's day, also I have a lot of upcoming hospital treatment this year which I am not exactly looking forward too.
