Guest guest Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 I've been on Humira since July of 2007 and it's been a real life saver. I have not side effects from it either. I do need to discontinue using it when I get sick and am on antibiotics, but that is no big deal. All of these medications carry risks with them. I would at least give it a try and see what happens. Since I'm on the Humira, I'm able to not need prednisone and the only drugs I take for the RA are 15mg of Methotrexate, and the Humira shots. Since starting the Humira I was able to lower the MTX, wean of the prednisone, stop using Lodine and discontinue the Plaquenil. Overall, I feel pretty fortunate and I'm glad I'm able to take it. After nearly two years of limping I'm able to finally walk normally.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Lori, how wonderful that you've had such success with Humira! I'm so happy for you! On a related note, I just spent about 10 very pleasant minutes looking at all of your lovely cross stitch creations. Thank you so much for brightening my day by sharing your talent with us like that. I imagine having RA must make it difficult to pick up the needle and floss some days but your work is just amazing and it's obvious that you have a passion for it. I'm especially enamored of the piece " Solo " ! Such a charming design and so perfectly wrought, it deserved to be published! ) Judy Lori wrote: I've been on Humira since July of 2007 and it's been a real life saver.
