YAY!!  It's good to here that Babs :)  Enbrel worked for me overnight.  I mean, I went from hardly walking to pretty much normal the day after my first dose.  Hopefully for you, the change you've had so far is a sign of better things around the corner.  Keep us posted on your improvement, k?
 
 
I had the same with my first shot . I started to notice an improvement within hours. And the needles are no big deal anymore. I find if I am in a rush and have my needle in a hurry,it can sting a little bit but not too bad. Well done on your1st of many Babs10,
 
Mine wasn't that fast, but I definitely noticed a difference right after my second shot.  I've been on it since late December and I can honestly say it's worked better than anything I've taken so far.  I'm so happy it's working for you too.
babs,

My mother has RA and had been on Cortisone for a number of years. It was hard to watch her suffering from this condition and the drugs were making her sick and her hair was also thinning and falling out as a side affect. I heard about a all natural product through a friend that had helped her mother. It was called Mums Rub (conveniently named :) I found out that I can order it online from www.mumsrub.com .

She used it for a week and the pain had gone. She is now weaning herself off the Cortisone and has made a miracle recovery. The doctor was amazed and so was I. Just wanted to share this with you and I hope it can help you to. All the best.
Has anyone had a similar fast reaction to Humira?  I'm due to start it, still haven't yet, but that's another topic to post.

today was terrific!!
 
in addition to my added abilities of motion..
 
My head was clear!!  I was firing on all pistons today for sure!! 
 
I wish my RD had done this months ago!!
 
I'm happy for all of you who have had great responses too..
 
I hope you have this good of a reaction to your Humira, Lisa!
