Humira responsiveness | Arthritis Information

Hi,
  I am new here, but not new to arthritis.  I have had it for over 20 years.  In 2006 I started Humira and it was miraculous.  Within one month I was off all medications and feeling great.  Then I got pregnant(that was a miracle in itself) and stopped taking it.  I started taking it again about 5 months ago and it definitely isn't miraculous anymore.  While the "edge" of arthritis is gone, the psoriasis is better, but I am unable to drop any anti-inflammatory drugs.  My hands and wrists are still unaffected and I wake up in pain at night with my hands.  Anybody have this experience?  Trying to be patient with it, but I probably need to follow up with my dr. at this point.  I am hoping that start and stopping and starting humira doesn't render it less effective. 

Comments?  Thoughts?
