- I'll be short as possible...Started Humira and MTX (Methotrexate had begun 8 months before) in combo 6/15. By 7/15 having outstanding results! So good cut the MTX from 7 tabs to 3/wk because of nausea. End of Oct felt stiffing. By January in a...
- Does anyone have an idea what to do with the mini Styrofoam coolers that Humira is shipped in? What about all those ice packs that come with them?
- Short and to the point....Started Humira in June when already on MTX 7 pills/wk. OMG, absolutely amazing results. Saw RA Doc after 1 month and he was pleasantly impressed and at my request cut the MTX back to 3 pills/wk. All was fine for 3 1/2 to...
- Not sure if it was the severe pressure swings, seasonal transition, pollen or what but checked with a couple of others around here yesterday and we all had a very rough week this week. Glad it's over!
- The first week of February is finished. One more week closer to warmth. Hang in there y'all, Spring is coming.
- Every month since the beginning like this:Take Humira every other Monday morning and they send two doses at a time. Took it 1/3 and then 1/17. That used up supply. Next dose scheduled for 1/31 (this coming Monday).Yesterday I called the specialty...
- Yes the drugs we take do ratchet up the anxiety. I'm just not real trusting of insurance not changing things mid stream or producing a "cap" out of nowhere. So, each month before ordering Humira from the specialty pharmacy I call and get my...
- An odd thread title to some of the newer forum members (sorry y'all are here) but I've not eaten any potato or tomato or red/green pepper in two and one half years in order to control swelling and pain from RA. After being on Humira 4+ months,...
- Seems to me that not just the pain but the psychological impacts of our disease peak with changes of the seasons. Also seems to be most demonstrative at the times of equinox or right after rather than the other two. Probably nothing to it though.
- Several questions here, seeking advice and experience from those that have had corrective surgery on their hands. My RA has slowed tremendously but should I wait to see if things get worse before starting the surgical stuff or go ahead with the...
- Saw RA Doc yesterday. Humira is doing very well for me so I was taken off of Plaq and my weekly does of MTX was cut from 7 pills to 3 (YEAH!). I wish everyone would get as good or better reports on your next visit.
- They say to limit exposure to the sun when on MTX. I started MTX in late January, been cutting grass (2 1/2 hr job, riding mower) since April in shorts and short sleeve shirt. No problems, normal farmers tan. We decided to slip down to Panama...
- I'll keep it short. Saw RA this morning, said to continue plaqu and mtx and wanted to also start on humira. Said things had progressed to that point. Guessing what he saw in hands and feet was prompt. Anyway, as he finished typing the script to...
- I've not had to take prednisone at all, don't care to do so but may not be an option as I read from what's happened to some posters.Anyway, reading RASally about the wedding and the 25mg burst. Okay, I get that. What, though, is the need to taper?...
- Cats....pics of cats in avatars, etc, etc. Cats. Is it a gender thing? Is that why I don't get it? No, I don't really care for them. Yes, we have one in the house and when wife and daughter are away I feed it, clean the box, vacuum the hair. ...
