What Are The Effects Of Humira In Treatment For Colitis?
Hi, I m 48, 5 5 158 .lbs I have crohns/colitis and I am in a flare. Some of my results are high like rdw sd & rdw cv. My iron is getting low probably due to my bowel disease which iron usually brings it up. However I have a fluctuating tsh the last 2 blood tests which showed abnormal and now my dr says Iam probably subclinical as its reading normal now. Because of this constant fast heart I have for a while I am concerned with the rdw sd being elevated. I went to see a cardiologist a few months ago who said I had pvc s but wanted a stress test to rule out cad coronary atery disease. Do you think I have anything to worry about with it being elevated like this? And also, do my blood test results look okay enough to start a drug called Humira? I ask this because some of my results show infection and humira affects the immune system which wont help it or make it worse?
