Hi everyone! After months of saying to my Rheumy that my DMARDS aren’t really doing the job (currently sulfasalazine and hydroxychloroquine), yesterday I had scans and, after a crappy flare last week (hands, wrists, knees, left big toe), I am being moved to Adalimubab. Yay! Here’s hoping it does the job, as i’m so bored of propping up Nurofen’s profits, haha.
If anyone has any positive success stories, tips or things to be aware of, please do let me know!

Hi, mine sitting in the fridge waiting to start, alas tested positive to covid last friday, this recent covid varient is terrible. Good luck.
So sorry to hear this. Keep the faith though, this medication has changed everything for me and I hope it does the same for you x
Thank you for your reply,and so glad that you feel better than you were.xx
How frustrating! I hope you feel loads better soon xxx
n thank you fore your nice thoughts, will re test on Friday. funny old world.
How are you doing? Hopefully much better & able to start the biologics!
Hi there, it’s me again! I am delighted for you - adalimumab has changed my life and taken away all my stiffness (as long as I avoid jumpy aerobic exercise). It’s been a total game-changer and sounds just what you need. Hope you get access to it soon.
Hellooooo! Thanks! I am looking forward to trying something new! I remembered you saying it had been a game changer and you had similar issues with the sulfasalazine. Will keep you posted! Xxx
Yes, let me know. Wishing you the very best of luck and I’m so glad for you that you’re finally getting proper help x
I have my first delivery arriving tomorrow and am really hopeful that it will be the game-changer that the majority of people seem to say it is 🤞.
Good luck. I start with my first injection tomorrow x
I hadn't realised that I just ignored the constant pain and difficulties until I started adalumimab and it went away. Even my daughter noticed the lack of swelling in my hands which she had assumed was permanent. I hope you do as well.
I’ve been on Amgevita for 9 months & it’s made a big difference to me. My fingers are still stiff, don’t bend easily. But my pain levels are way down 😊 And, for me, it worked very quickly, noticed an improvement almost straight away 😊
3 years ago adalimumab changed/improved everything for me and is still working well alongside my methotrexate. Retired from work now at 62 but I’m at the gym two or three times a week and no flares at all 👍👍
Adalimumab was the best for me. I was on it for 12 years & worked really well. Good luck hope it works for you too
Thanks everyone! I’m so hopeful that this will help me not be in pain and i can get on with living my life again! Xx
I am going to humira soon metrex after 20 years stopped wording. I hope this will help me
