Popsmith1874 and Silverwolf this is me too, last Friday. Ive had all my tests done: Das score a month apart, chest xray to check no TB, loads of blood tests done. So ive got the go ahead and I'm now waiting for HAH to deliver my Humira. like you I am very scared, but the MTX, Sulfa. Hydroxy now not working so on to the next level of treatment. so the three of us in the same boat.
