Guest guest Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 I went to my rheumy today... LOVE HIM.... He wants me to increase my Humira to weekly but I have my reservations so we agreed to every 10 days. Every 10 days for 3 injections and if I do not notice a VAST IMPROVEMENT in my right elbow and hand, I am to start weekly injections. I just hope the sinus headaches don't get worse.... *~ Kami ~* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Kami, hello my Dr. has me taking the shots 7-10 days apart..Seemed to work for awhile. But it seems to me that is is not working like it used too. When I first started the injections 2 years ago I was like a new person, now I flare most of the time. We tried the methotrexate injections but I was very ill. Now I am on ARAVA and HUMIRA And to my dismay prednisone as needed. NOw have moon face, people ask what is wrong. I am 51 and have had RA for 25 years and it seems like it is getting worse, maybe my stress level is getting higher. I see there are new things possibly a new drug. Dr. wants me to try Rituxin, I am afraid of that. Then he wanted me on a experimental but I told him I am in too much pain to not know if I am taking a placebo or not..no guinea pig here. I hope all goes well for you. Let me know...Sandy in Erie PA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Sandy and group; Sandy I am so sorry you have been so through so much. Will the round face go down in time? I have seen that I got a round face from prednisone but I wasn't on long and it left in days. I hope and pray for you all the best. gentle hugs Clora ************************************************************* From: beacon348 <beacon316@...> Subject: [ ] Re: Increasing Humira Date: Sunday, November 2, 2008, 7:46 PM Kami, hello my Dr. has me taking the shots 7-10 days apart..Seemed to work for awhile.
