It will probably be a different biologic. After the humira stopped working for me I was put on tocilizumab which has worked great for me. Once the RA is under control your fatigue should improve. Good luck

Hi,

It is awful but hang in there. There are-I've been told- lots to try. I'm on Enbril as well as Methotrexate but it's not working. My Doc has said there are lots more. Hopefully we'll all find something that does the trick... Take care x
