DH was diagnosed yesterday with PA Help | Arthritis Information

After about 3 months of shoulders and hip pain..we went to the Rheumatoid MD.  My DH has psoriasis. In January, the Dermatologist gave him a spray that kicked the lesions perfectly within a few weeks. Then..all of a sudden my DH started getting the shoulder and hip pain. This went on for 3 months.  Yesterday the Rheumatoid. MD prescribed him Humira.

My question is...in researching the Humira..it says should consult MD if have past history of hepatitis.  My DH had Hepatitis B 35 years ago.  (the infectious type..not the needle type)
Is he still eligible to take the Humira?  Thanks for any help.I was diagnosed with PA about a month ago and found this forum. However, it is not very active. I posted my questions under the heading "I was diagnosed with PA about a month ago". Add your questions to the message that I started and we could get more hits and answers to our questions. I don't know much about PA yet.[QUOTE=Rolacoy]I was diagnosed with PA about a month ago and found this forum. However, it is not very active.

Thanks!  I'll try that. :)
Have had PsA or PA for years but I didn't see a rheumy until my orthopedic surgeon referred me.  Was dx'd  3 years ago.  I can't help with the hep question but I can say that Humira works pretty good.  Just started checking this website again and will try to visit often and post.
