I have had Crohn's disease since birth. I know a lot, and still have a lot to learn. I'm almost in remission, after being born with this disease. I feel like my life as a young adult has just begun! I want to help people, and I have tried to write a book, but it wasn't working. I am more of a talker, and entertainer. So, TH-cam videos is a perfect way for me to educate people.

I don't either on my leg it's not painful in my stomach
It's dosent hurt
Hello, I know this is an older video but I am just now seeing this (diagnosed with Crohn's as of December after years of suffering, gallbladder removal that likely wasn't needed,on my second biologic currently and at least frequency has calmed other symptoms not so much, etc.). Thank you for making me feel not so alone. I had taken a leave from work under the company's private benefits provider. They denied my extension midway through my leave and just denied my appeal I had sent with legal assistance from a good disability lawyer where I am located. All of this has created a situation where I have exhausted all my resources and backed into a corner where I am going to have to return to work before I feel physically or emotionally ready. I am gonna do the damn thing BUT I have to continue having a place to live and be able to pay bills/take care of my dog. Currently I have finally hit a point where I am grieving my chronic illness and that normal health will never be that previous version of normal again. It is so much more than alot having Crohn's and it is very helpful knowing other people are living with it and figuring it out because maybe my anxiety and stress about returning will end up being a bit overblown.
Thank you for this video! I always turn it on when I inject myself with adalimumab for my ankylosing spondylitis.❤😊
Your in pain because most likely your allergic to something u eat. Most Crohn's patients are allergic to wheat gluten which is a man made hormone place in wheat to taste better... It is not the wheat itself.... i experience joint pain when I'm having an allergic reaction. Also, wheat gluten is in most foods but sometimes when you consume more of it or consecutively you'll start to have an allergic reaction. Thus, for joint, muscle or body ache pain....
This was a Great video Thanks for your tips
Thank you for this video, my daughter will be starting Friday
Hello, thank you for sharing! I have a few questions! My daughter and I both have Crohn's and the Dr started her on the same injection after failure of the infusions after 6 months. She really is a trooper; she is 8 and has been going through this for the last few years also..but we have been doing the injections in the thigh because we haven't really been able to grab to much fat yet.. But how much is enough? any idea? and do you have some of the fluid come out of the injection site? she has been complaining of her leg hurting a lot so then I'm worried I am doing it wrong.
@@lindz020509 The thigh is a harder spot (skin is tougher) so it hurts a little more and some fluid can come out. Try doing it after a shower or bath when the tissue under the skin is softer. Maybe try the stomach, the tissue is much softer to inject into on the sides of the belly button. As far as how much to pinch, it should be enough that most of the needle can go into the “roll” to prevent you from injecting into something too deep. Hope this helps!
Thanks ❤ I start on Monday! Fingers crossed 🩵
Thank you you did a great job with us and now I’m about to do my first shot
Mam how to increase weight in IBD can you please tell me
Thank you so much. I’m injecting for the first time and watching you was like sitting with a friend. 🙏🏼☀️
Awww 🥰 I love that. I hope it goes well, just take your time. After a few injections, it was effortless after that.
Thank you kindly!
Thank you!
Thanks cause sometimes I feel like I didn’t do it right cause sometimes the meds drip off my stomach. Thanks cause I just did it tonight like you did it and it was a SUCCESS ❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much for the video. My doctor messed up the order and sent a prescription for a prefilled syringe instead of a pen. The pen was super easy. I received the syringe via express way to not miss my dosage just because someone screwed up the prescription. No trainings whatsoever, so your video is helping me calm down. I see that you made this video a while ago and hope you feel much better by this time. ❤
I’m glad it all worked out for you! I’m well! Still using my syringes every 2 weeks. Practice will make it effortless 🩷
hey, just a question: is it normal that a bit of liquid is leaking after I remove the syringe or it means that I did something wrong?
If it’s a little bubble, that’s ok every once and a while. What it means is that you need to adjust your angle and try a “softer” spot next time. Maybe a different side of your stomach. This prevents anything from being pushed out from pressure.
I have an incredibly unhealthy diet but I will try this because I'm not in remission from Crohn's
Hey! Thank you so much for taking the time to share this. My mom is starting the syringe injections soon, and I'll be the one giving her the injections. We've been uncertain of what to expect. This was very helpful. Now we feel more at ease. ❤
I hope it is going well!
YAY! Thank you so much for this, this was my 2nd injection doing it alone and 1st time doing it on the stomach. This video definitely helped me so much!
Yay! I’m glad you found a spot that works for you. My stomach is my go-to.
@@thatcrohnslife same!!
Yea I been getting lumps from the 90° method
It is obvious you haven't done any research done by nutritionists. You are misleading so many people. Shame on you.
Aren’t you supposed to hit them below belly button
After using a pen for years, I was surprised to get this new way of injecting myself and I’ve been scared for weeks about it. This video was so helpful! It went so well I couldn’t even find the entry point to put a bandaid on it! Thanks soooo much!
That is so wonderful! I’m happy it went well!
Removing the air bubble is not mandatory
I know this video is old and I'm late to the party, but thank you for this. I kept searching 'Humira injection videos' and all of them were for the one with the button, and I'm getting the syringe. I adjusted my search to 'Humira syringe injection' and your video was the first to pop up that was what I was looking for. I am not scared of needles, but the idea of injecting myself was getting me a bit frightened. This has eased that quite a bit, and I'm hoping in a few weeks the medicine will be in my system and hopefully my arthritis will be under control.
Hi! I hope it’s working out for you!
Thank you so much for making this video. It really helped me and now I can send the two other boxes I have! 😄👍
ive been taking humira for over 4 years now, but im still not able to do the injection myself... as a 21 year old whos lived on her own for 2 years it's been a big issue training my friends and family to assist me but i just can't break my fear of pushing that button myself. thank you for your video it's helped a lot to realize it's possible
Thank you again for sharing your injection video. It gave me the courage to inject 2 last night. Easy and painless. I iced the sites before.
Thank you for sharing this wisdom. I have UC. I hope you are doing well and might be able to send us an update video.
1st injection today using the syringe. I didn't know if the cap was supposed to cm off or if it stayed on like the pen. I just didn't wanna mess up this medication for my 1st use but your video did help me figure it out. Thanks!
Please keep making videos on crohns!! You really are helping slot of people
Thank you for the help! I hope that today and every day for the rest of your life are filled with joy and happiness and love and peace of mind and good health 😊🌹
Thank you!
You did it exactly how i did. Today was my first day doing this and when I saw the needle it freaked me out but I did it and I didn’t bleed 🩸 but I will say it hurt alittle more than the pen that does everything for you.
See for me, It hurts way less. I feel like the pen caused me so much anxiety in the moment that I would push too hard.
10:45 is what I tell my self EVERY single time I do mine. 😣. I hate it so much as well. The click and the noise. Even when you did it to yourself I was like WAIT!! I’m not ready! You can say please like, share and subscribe 😅 you’re awesome!!
I hope it gets easier for you, if not, consider the little prefilled syringes. I switched.
I have RA and take Humira so while I don’t live the Crohn’s life I do really appreciate your video. Thank you for the help!
You’re welcome!
Hey, I may switch to Humira injections from Infliximab transfusions. All I wanted to know is what side effects did you have, is there any pain, and am I overthinking them? I feel like the idea of self injecting is putting me off, Thank you :)
I never did infusions because I have bad veins. I would do syringes from the start if you can! They are so much easier and little to no pinch pain.
I use a freestyle does it work for that to and needles
I dispose my syringes in it now. I used to use pens.
Thanks! I was really nervous for my first syringe injection and your video really help me a lot!!!
Wonderful to hear! It gets easier!
Omg I tried it your way with my Enbrel and it was way better
Thank you for being so helpful and showing us what to do.
I was using the auto injector pens - Enbrel for 3 + months & then Humira for another 4 months and they really stressed me out! 🥺No control over the flow & I had several misfires as well. Finally decided to advocate for myself, called my rheumatologist & I’m now using syringes! What a difference it’s making!! 👏😊 Just did my 2nd syringe injection along with you. Totally calmed me down. The tips you give are great- I need a quiet space & ice ready along with my tea and a show! I have Rheumatoid Arthritis & Ankylosing Spondylitis & Humira has given me back a lot so far. Hoping it continues to work. Thanks for sharing this- it’s important for the chronic illness community to get good information & to feel supported- you did both. Appreciate you! 🤗🦋💜
Thank you for taking the time to write this comment! I’m so sorry it took so long for me to reply. ✌🏻💕
Waaaaa
I’ve just recently found out that I was diagnosed with Crohn’s and I start my Humira treatment today
Hey
Thank you for this! I'm doing my 1st injection in 7 minutes and I am much less nervous, and more focused on the goal 😊 this was super helpful, and reassuring for a beginner! Wish me luck 😁
That is wonderful! It will get easier with practice. You got this :)
I just switched to a syringe after 3 years of using the pen and was so anxious to use the syringe. Your videos gave me such a boost of confidence - tonight I gave myself my first syringe shot and it went better than I even expected!! Bonus is it didn’t hurt at all compared to the pen! Thank you for your video!!
That is wonderful! You are so welcome !
This is totally me. I'm so anxious I misfired an autoinjector and wasted a dose. Doing my first injection next week.
I hope it brings you some ease!
Well played, thank you.
