Hi Kathy - I'm going to be starting AP soon and am now on Humira so

your post interested me. I'm fearful of stopping the Humira (keeps

me upright anyway, although still significantly restricted)when I

start the AP. I would love to hear more about your story and you

can email me if you would like or post here. In any case, what AP

are you doing, when did you start, when did you stop Humira, and how

quickly did you see results from AP? Also, are you on anything

else? .

was the DR told me I couldnt take any because my blood works showed

a problem with my kidneys. I had prescriptions for narcotic drugs

which i couldnt take and work (I drive a bus) so the humira was

working but too risky. I started AP and quit the humira (also quit

the DR) I have NOT taken anything for the join/tendon pain since i

started!!!! (I used to eat alieve) so wether the mino is helping

with the pain or the pain has gone away i dont know. I started AP in

september.

multi vitamin, flax oil, pomegranet, calcium with D, and geletin.

out. I thought originally from drugs I was on the lats 2 years. but

its still falling out and Ive been off the methetexate for 6 months

now. also my nails are very brittle (Ive been tested for thyroid

and they say Im fine) so I take biotin and geletin for hair and

nails.
