Guest guest Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 I started Humira 5 weeks ago and have notice the last week my P getting worse. It actually got much better when I had taken Enbrel but I stopped the Enbrel at the end of last summer because it did not touch the PA. My psoriasis has been great since then and barely noticable and now since starting Humira it is starting to flare. I think this is weird. Isn't this drug supposed to calm it down? Also I really don't see much help with the PA yet. Does anyone here have some advice on this? Thanks JANET Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Is there anyone on this loop who has gotten very good results on Humira and is living a fairly normal, pain free life? My 12 yo daughter just started Humira and I want to know if this is too much to expect. Thanks. Lori _____ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Lori~ I didn't have such good luck with Humira or Remicade but have heard much anecdotal information that both have changed people's lives for the good. My gastro can't say enough about how many patients both have helped and my Rheumie has the same praise for both medications. So, it seems that the overwhelming expectation for your daughter should be a positive one. I was on 40mg a week. How much was your daughter prescribed? I wish the very best for her! It's wonderful she has a MOM on the internet doing research FOR HER! *smiles* Ian [ ] Humira question > Is there anyone on this loop who has gotten very good results on Humira > and > is living a fairly normal, pain free life? > > > > My 12 yo daughter just started Humira and I want to know if this is too > much > to expect. > > > > Thanks. > > > > Lori > > _____ > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are people who have great success with Humira... I am one of them! Yes the shot itself is a pain, but far worth it. I'd rather take the sting other than telling my 2 yr old i cant play...Your expectations arent too much. I pray this works for her and she can do all that she wants to do in life...

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 I've never used either but I would think you should probably do them separate a couple days apart. To do them both the same day means there is a lot of powerful medications hitting your system at the same time and more likely you'll get sick from them.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 <<I'll be using [Humira]. Do I do my injection the same day I take my MTX or doesn't it matter? >> My rheumy said it didn't matter, but I took my injection 2 days after my MTX dose. " S.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 It's not much. My insurance covers most of it, but Abbott assists with part of the copay. Every little bit helps! Be sure you register for their " My Humira " program. They send info from time to time, plus they have sent me a book of exercises plus some elastic bands for stretching exercises plus a book of tips for managing arthritis. Then out of the blue they sent me an assistance card, for which I'm very grateful. " S. Zorzi " <szorzi_1999@...> > > Sherry: what kind of assistance? Please explain. I have medicare and a good Medicare Rx plan but Enbrel still ends up costing me about $4,000/year - which is a lot when you're retired! > Joanna Hoelscher > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
