It's been a while since my last post, I have been hibernating whilst trying to fight heart failure. I am in horrible amounts of diuretics and spending too much time in the bathroom. Cardiologist says I am improving, but my potassium keeps bottoming out.
Now for the good news! After asking the advice of all you lovelies, I started Humira a month ago. I am pleased to report that I have not had any side effects from it, and my energy levels are coming up! My morning stiffness has gone from 3 hours down to 1 hour! My heart failure is improving and I have less pain!!!!
I am very hopeful that each and every one of you find your magic med combination!

Well we're rooting for your cautiously optimistic to get more certainly optimistic.... But anything that gives you less pain sounds great news. And hope you manage to find a way to keep your diuretic issues in balance - such a nightmare juggling doses all the time.
I've not met you before as I am new here, but love your positive post and hope you go from strength to strength. Glad the Humira seems to be suiting you too!
That is good news Mandy, the good effects of Humira not the amount of time you're spending in the bathroom! Diuretics unfortunately have their down side. We know where all the loos are when shopping, even have to have plan our route. Have you got a Radar key? Our Town Hall provides them no charge but they're available for little money online. We keep ours in the glove compartment in the car.
Glad for you. I was hopeful about humira but after only one injection I was covered in a horrible rash. Now waiting to hear from hospital. Disappointed as injection painless compared to benepali. Great you seem to be improving all over
