Guest guest Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 > I have been reading the the wonderful dialogue here for several months, but have never written before. I was just diagnosed with RA in May 2009, but now that I know what it is, I can tell it has been clearly going on for at least 5 years or more (I'm 54). > > I have a great reumy, but we still have not found the right combo of medicines - I'm currently taking 8 metho pills once a week and self injection of humera every other week. > > Now, my 2 questions - HAS ANYONE HAD METHO KEEP YOU UP AT NIHTS? I take 4 pills Sun night and 4 pills Mon morning (to help minimize the nausea and fever/chills) and I have just in the past few weeks realized that I am having problems sleeping Monday nights (as you can tell because it's 3:40 AM in California now). > > Also, I've only had 4 shots of humira so far, but that is 8 weeks - it seems to have helped my knee some but I don't think it's helping my wrists and hands much. Time will tell more about that. But, I have noticed that for a few days after I take the Humira I have extreme muscle aches in my legs and my joint pain almost seems to be worse than it did the couple days before the injection. Has anyone else ever noticed these side effects with Humira? > > Thanks so much for your help. Ellis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
