Guest guest Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Results vary person to person. Humira binds to the TNF in a cell and interfers with the inflammation cascade. I chose not to use it because of the injection site reactions and sharps containers disposal. Going to the infusion center for an IV once ever 6-8 weeks means I can lay in bed and watch TV for 3 hours until I am finished. Its been 8+ years now with great results. I sure hope it works for you.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 I took Orencia two years ago, and had so many side effects my Dr just ignored it, untill it put me in the hospital with pneumonia.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Thanks for the link, Deborah. I’ve read it, and other links, but it doesn’t seem to say how long before it starts to work…my doc says to try it for at least 3 months. I’m on month 2, so we’ll see. Thx.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 , I haven’t been on Humira but my rheumatologist said the same as yours when we started Remicade. I saw a little improvement after two or three months so we decided to wait another month before switching. There was still more improvement so we waited some more and it finally really kicked in after about 6 months. That was about 7 years ago and it is still working fine for me. In fact, we have reduced the dose with no problems. RA sure does teach patience and severely punishes impatience. God bless.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 I also have a right to give my opinion because the medication works on him, that does not give him the right to give advice like he is a Dr. I also had( pations) with one of the medications i took, and it landet me in the hospital with pneumonia.i almost died , does that give you satisfaction ??? does that make you happy ??? I resent, him telling us RA severely punishes (impatience.) every Person is different,i guess he is a lucky one, and he should count his lucky stars i am glad for him. He always gives advices, and i think it is wrong, he should show a little sympathy instead to the poor suffering people out there.he should thank God he is not suffering like some of us do, so think what you want of me, because i can tell you are also not a sensitive person *********************************************************************** > > Marika, Why are you being so harsh with Harold?

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Please don`t bother me with your insults any more. Haraold does not have a right to say RA sure does teach pations, and severely punishes impatience.i resent this remark. I guess i was so wrong about you, thinking you cared. I had pation with the medication i took, all i had was very bad side effects,and almost died, but why should you care, i think you rather think i should have died.some people just can not tolerate those powerful medications others can not affort the price to pay for them ,so please dont be so cold. People in this support group need sympathy understanding,an ear to listen to, maybe a shoulder to cry on ,that is why the are reaching out,dont worry you will not hear me complain about my pain any more, maybe my dog will have more understanding for me than you do. God be with you ( i guess you must not have Arthritis, because otherwise you would understand. So please don`twrite to me any more.i am not interested in your insults to me .................
