Humira for RA

[Jaynek]

I live in France and I have been on Humira Injection every 2 weeks for the last 10 years and now my Specialist has asked if I would try having the injections every 3 weeks. Has anyone else had experience of going from 2 to 3 weekly injections? If so, what has been the good points / bad points? Would like to hear from anyone.

I was on infliximab for about the same time as you on humira. My rheumy thought I was in remission and decided to withdraw all meds. Bad mistake. It sounds as though you rheumys more cautious approach is more sensible, but if I was in your position I'd ask for an arrangement to allow you to go back to the earlier regime if it doesn't suit. I hope this is a good move, cautiously managed. C

Hi Cathie

Thank you for your reply. Yes, you are right, my Specialist has advised that if it does not suit me I must revert back to 2 weekly injections straight away, so I will see how it goes!!
