So, you can read my bio for the full story... But I have been through the ringer lately with my sjogrens. I'm 27 but waking up pains me.. My eyes even rejected plugs 2x, within 3 months!!!! My knees, hips ankles are starting, elbows, wrists and oh my gosh my fingers... Enough complaining because I don't think of my pain..I just do stim and yoga and get over it... I take care of 3 ladies, so i have to stay positive!
Has anyone tried Humira injections before??? I've done everything and counts go up for inflammatory rates so now getting a body scan and Humira for a month then tests again to check rates... If not down my case will be sent to a research hospital in hopes for a team of doctors to take my case... ANY HELP?

I have not tried Humira. I was diagnosed in February, and I am taking Chloroquine Phosphate (which is already helping me).
Problem is, since May 2015 there is a Nationwide shortage, so I'm not sure what I'm going to do.
Good luck to you.
