Need assistance

[Mcdebz]

I'm currently got Fibromyalgia , RA ( apparently 4 different types) and other issues. I inject mexotrate weekly ( have been for over a year ) and at the moment on steroids due to having a bad flare up in my hands. Rhumy consultant now wants me to also inject a biological drug called Adalimumab. Having just read all the information in the pack I'm not looking forward to it. Anyone else been on theses drugs? If so , how you getting on?

Hi I’m on mtx and Humira but starting imilumub next week as their stopping the Humira due to being too expensive, they say it’s the same drug but cheaper so we will see, Humiras been great for me although I stilll get bother with my hands and feet and need steroid injections now and again I can exercise and don’t everyday stuff now, hope it works for you as well

Thanks for replying. Just reading of the side effects kind of spun me out!

Don’t worry too much, I’ve not had any side effects and I know everyone’s different but I would give it a try

I've been on Humira for 10 years, it's been a wonder drug for my RD, I am able to stay on it due to other problems for now and not changed to a bio similar, just feel a little tired the next day but no other side effects. Good luck I say go for it X

Thank you both. Feel a bit more hopeful now.
