Hi,

I am just taking Humira at this point. I just had my liver checked last week and

I know my results came back with my liver enzymes being to high so I do not know

what my Rheumy will do now. I wonder if there is any meds out there for PsA that

does not harm the liver. I know before I started the Humira I had bad joint

pain, I still have joint pain now but it is greatly reduced, I can't go back to

constant pain like that. Anyone have any suggestions? I am going for acupuncture

the end of the week, I am really unsure of what to do next.

Hi Lori

I have taken Humira,sulfasalazine,Methotrexate and did not have much effect as

well as raising my liver enzymes. I started taking Arava about five years ago

and it has done wonders for the swelling and I get around much better. I still

get some pain but it is bearable with the pain pills I take as a supplement.

I am not a physician, but you might ask your rhuemy about Arava. Good luck
