Goodmorning,
I was wondering if anyone had problems with Humira Epi-pen not working? I have been on it for 6 months and still have lots of inflammation and pain in my neck elbows wrist and hands.

humira is another anti TNF - ask your rheumie if she is going to branch you out to a new biologic soon
ask questions anytime, we are here to support each other! :)
