I have done 2 shots of humira, I haven't noticed any change in the way I feel. I was hopeing for a miracle. It works for some people, good luck.

I was on it for about three years before it stopped working. For me, it worked ok, but never as good as Methotrexate until that stopped. Right now I'm taking Embrel and Methotrexate and haven't felt this good in years....Amen. I hope and pray it works for you, and don't give up, keep a positive attitude, I honestly think that's important, the Enbrel didn't start working until the eighth week, so keep on keeping on. Here's a trick. When you pull your injectable out of the fridge, just put the syringe in your hand to warm up (cap on of course). It will warm up much faster and actually to your body temperature, then you can take your shot. That's what I do, it beats setting it on the table for a half hour, when you do it this way, your shots warmed up in like two minutes or less. Blessings!!!
