Hi Everyone

Yesterday was the end of the 3 month study I was on

for Humira. Boy I'm glad that is over! One of the

questions was " do you feelbetter now than when you

first started this study? " My answer...Heckyea

....actually I had to mark the box that said " Much

Better " . I hadto fill out a survey like every visit

with 5 pages of how many things Icould do in the last

week, last 4 weeks, since I started humira etc.

Mychart was very much improved...So for now I think

this is the rightmedication for me.

Since I'm doing so well he has dropped my

Prednisonefrom 5mgs a day to 5mgs one day, 2.5 the

next, then 5 mgs, keeprotatiing til my next appt 6

weeks from now. The least amount ofprednisone I have

been on is 3mgs and that was many years ago.

TheDecember appointment will be almost a year since I

started seeing mynew RD and I started at 20mgs..so he

definatley believes in slowydecreasing the pred. So

overall it was a good appointment day.
