Anyone taking this? How do you feel about it? Are there many side affects? Is it helping with pain? Thanks.
Marcy, I started Humira with MXT for RA. I achieved RA remission but Humira made my PsA worse! I'm one of the few that this happens to. I've since upped my MXT and I'm doing better. All you can do is try it and see how you do. Believe me it's worth trying. LindyHumira worked wonders for me!! I could keep up with work, teenagers sporting events and household stuff that I could not do before. My pain level was better and energy was fantastic. I have been on it for about two years now. May be working less for me at present but I can say that it made a big difference for me. I researched the side effects and weighted the pros and cons. I have a big family history of cancer but decided to go ahead and take the risk vs. living in pain and with limited mobility. Been in an out of remission a few times but overall the Humira is helping. Hopefully it will help your husband too. Did the nurse go over best time to take injections and tips for injecting? Is he taking the pen or needle? I have done both and the pen is much easier and faster. [QUOTE=windyone]Humira worked wonders for me!!
