Re:Humira Once a Week? YES

May 6, 2010

Yes I take it weekly. I was diagnosed 6 mos ago with AS ankylosing spondylitis

& psoriatic arthritis - every other week no effect, and then just as I went to

weekly got sick and had to stop shots for 6 weeks and then started again weekly.

I am on my 5th week and I have not seen a great difference and have to go off it

again for surgery on 5/21. HAS ANYONE felt considerably better & how long did

it take

I just started Humira a couple of weeks ago. So far I'm feeling a bit better but

I have a long way to go.

I have been taking Humira for several years. I moved up to weekly after the

first 3 months (insurance company hated that). When I was on every other week

it would stop working after about a week and a half. My rheumatologist laughed

and said that his patients could almost tell him to the minute it stopped being

effective.

Injecting weekly has literally given me my life back.

I am currently on Humira and MTX. I tried Humira once before and it didn't

work for me without the methotrexate.

I take it bi-weekly, but my Dr. has said he wants to change it to weekly.

It took about 7-9 weeks before I started to tell a

Difference. But, now I have gotten a bad bladder infection, and it has

caused all my joints to flare up BIG TIME.
