A Crohn’s Cold
I have a full blown cold and it’s the first REAL ASS-KICKER I have had since starting Humira a few months ago.
So far, I haven’t thought much of Humira’s side effects. It’s something my mom has spent a lot more time stressing about.
She’s always been super worried about me getting a cold while I’ve thought nothing of it.
Now that I actually have one though, warnings on the potential development of serious infections like tuberculosis seem much more threatening.
I’ve taken a couple sick days to try and kick it. When you tell people you have a cold, they obviously don’t really understand why you’re putting your life on hold for something so minor. Most of the time I’m just not in the mood to provide context.
Just another seemingly minor thing you don’t think about when you’re living with Crohn’s.
