- My boyfriend and I moved in together last fall (Oct 2013) and we have been together 1 1/2 years. I am 50, he is 47. My RA is well controlled with Humira and MTX. No pain, no inflammation. We are planning a big move out of state to start a business...
- It's been a long time since I've posted. I have been on Humira with MTX for a year and I have felt GREAT. The only side effect I have is some occasional fatigue. When it hits, it hits hard for about 2 days after the Humira injection. I take the...
- So last week I had this familiar feeling of...well....crappy. I kept saying "something is very wrong" then it occurred to me. The last time I felt like that was when I was 23 and developed shingles.So I was diagnosed with shingles with an outbreak...
- I haven't been online to check in here lately....well, because....I've been busy living my life again! I am not bragging but hoping to share my good news so you might find hope. There is hope and for some relief and quite possibly remission. I...
- I ran 3.1 miles yesterday!! I have been on Humira only for 3 weeks (2 injections). I got immediate relief (the next day) and began back at the gym slowly right after that. The neuropathy is being controlled with Gabapentin so my foot pain is gone....
- I think I have psoriasis on my right shoulder blade. I am taking MTX and jsut started Humira both of which I thought were used to treat psoriasis. I assume the RA has induced this condition but I am puzzled. Anyone have any insight? I searched...
- I got my first prescription of Humira yesterday. Nurse said it would have to be pre-authorized and could take up to a month to be pre-approved. Two hours later the pharmacy called to tell me it was ready to pick up! The nurse said that has NEVER...
- My Rheumy and I decided to add a biologic to the MTX I am taking. sigh...I need some input into these two meds. I think Enbrel you have to inject weekly and Humera every other week right? I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has tried...
- I have gone back to my chiropractor for some mid-back issues I have had for a very long time. I haven't seen him since my RA dianosis 16 months ago. While there he adjusted my knees and feet which have been causing me all kinds of problems. That...
- I have progressively worsening peripheral neuropathy in my lower extremities. When I walk or try to do any exercise the bottoms of my feet go numb then burn and ache. I have begun to have shooting pains down my legs and behind/around my knees. I...
- Well it's been awhile but this morning I broke down and had a little pity party for one, complete with tears and self pity. I gave myself 10 minutes before pulling myself back together and getting on with my day. This condition is a bitch and...
- I am so exhausted today I can hardly get out of bed. I am up to 6 mtx a week (my 2nd week at this dose) which I took yesterday morning. I got up today (I am still in pain by the way) and the fatigue overwhelmed me by about 9am. I was so shaky and...
- I tried Sulfasalazine and I had a reaction within a week. Mouth sores and horrible itching. I agreed to try MTX. My Rheumy (God bless her) also discussed the possibility of biologics with me. If the MTX fails then she will pre-authorize it with...
- I went to the Rheumy today. After a year of alternatives I found out my SED rate is up and the inflammation is worsening in my body. I agreed to try Sulfasalizide (sp) for 2 months. If it doesn't work then I will try MTX. I have surrendered and...
- My toes on my left foot have felt "weird" for about a week. I haven't really looked at them closely but when I flex or bend my toes they felt "weird". Last night sitting on the couch my boyfriend asked "Have you always had that big gap between...
