Re: Lori/Question (one last time)

Lori, Thank you so much for getting back to me on this. You don't know how

scared I am. What you have told me has helped me a lot. Just hope it works

as well for me as it has for you. So sorry to hear you also have Fibro . I

can't imagine what it would be like having more than one disease and RA is

bad enough.

I hope you are not in too much pain.

Thank you again,

Shay

-- Re: [ ] Question (one last time)

I've been on Humira for almost two years. I have no side effects from it,

other than a little bit of burning for about 5 seconds when I inject it. I

have become more susceptible to colds and viruses and when I do get sick, I

get sicker than I used to before treatment. But Humira has really helped me

a great deal and really helped me to get quite a bit better. I'm nowhere

near 100%, and now that I have Fibromyalgia I really doubt I'll ever get

there, but I'm really grateful that I have access to a drug like Humira that

helps so much. I also have to take Methotrexate, which I do have side

effects from, but I'm at least able to get through my day and care for my

children and DH.

HTH,

Lori
