Reply to "Ok Humira, here we go......"

Still Standing, thank you.

I just saw the insurance decline letter. It indicates the reason is that none of the other older meds have been tried first....e.g., Imuran, Pentasa, 6MP. I originally wanted to try Imuran before biologics if the antibiotics did not work. The GI said a year or so ago we could do this, but has been recommending biologics all along. I think it comes down to being aggressive with treatment when it comes to a pouch.

I'm really torn now. I don't want to prolong the problems, and I know Imuran is considered a bit outdated, but I think I might wonder "what if" if we don't try it first. I was ready to take the Humira plunge, but the insurance decision has me teetering about it again.
