Enbrel, Humira or Simponi?
pack for
Humira
, a reasonably big one for Enbrel and a little brochure on Simponi as it is not as established as the other two. Simponi has an advantage of a monthly injection but that won't be a main reason to choose for me. Had bloods done for screening all the usual.

You wait for one appointment and three come along at once...
He explained that the MRI and stopping the
Humira
was to investigate the slight chance the unusual looking nerve in my right eye might be from the
Humira
which can cause nerve demyelisation (MS). He was surprised about the scleritis as
Humira
usually corrects autoimmune eye problems.

Has anyone taken photographs of the inflamed joints to their consultant/ rhuemy nurse? If so how many?
First appointment- very little inflammation visible- methotrexate re introduced to my
Humira
. Second appointment- Visible inflammation- steroid injection given. Third appointment- within 4 weeks of having steroid - no visible inflammation- methotrexate stopped and awaiting a scan.

Where do I go from here...?
My blood tests have returned results consistently high, despite also having tried other additional treatments, such as sulphasalazine, and
Humira
, (with regular amounts of steroids 'thrown in' for good measure).

Hello hello I'm back again
Got a rubbish cold though after starting back at last on
Humira
(of course) So waiting on THE phone call and will have to go back up soon I suspect. On a brighter note Katy got her PROM dress and I was very pleased with her.

Does anyone else get inflamed one minute and not the next!
I'm on
Humira
and Methotrexate was added in again in September after a less than good experience with a registrar rheumy- felt rail roaded into taking it in tablet form despite being on injections previously for 6 years. ( got that sorted though!)

Opthamologist appointment this morning...
Two and a half hours later I've been told to stop the
Humira
immediately and been referred for an emergency MRI scan of my head. The word 'worrying' was used several times.

Is there a connection between RA and Complex Regional Pain Syndrome?
Hi, I am a 48 year old female with RA, I'm on Methotrexate and
Humira
. I have pain and stiffness mainly in my hands. Just before Christmas I fell and broke my left wrist. I'm out of plaster now, but throughout I have had excessive pain. My wrist is now hot, painful and sensitive.

Still feel dreadful, need a Fit for Work note.
In the mean time the cold I seem to have had since before Christmas is still there, sore throat and terrible tiredness and two weeks from my last
Humira
I'm back to being in too much pain to sleep.

Question about anti-tnfs and bad teeth.
After I started using
Humira
I noticed on all the info that comes with it that you shouldn't go on them if you have dental problems. No one said anything to me about this before I started on them.

Humira
I've just finished Infliximab infusions and now am starting on
Humira
(Adalimumab). Has anyone else tried this?

Other treatments for Behcet's
It's inexpensive and has mild anti-TNFa properties like the biologics (Enbrel, Remicade,
Humira
, etc.), with fewer side effects and little risk. Low-dose nicotine patches can also work well for oral/skin ulcers - see the research.

Steroids - how much can you take without doing any lasting damage?
As soon as I stopped, even though I had started the
Humira
I had a massive flare up. It's been five weeks now and I'm struggling to do anything and in terrible pain. I've had three
Humira
injections but they haven't helped yet. Is it worth asking for more prednisolone? Would I be allowed it?

I'm scared
I was put on
humira
but it was just not the magic drug I'd been promised and the self injecting really stressed me out. I have tried diet, I eat very carefully but its made no real difference. My knees are so bad that I'm struggling go walk. I'm struggling not to cry every 5 minutes.

Experiences with infections and anti-tnf treatment please.
I've been on
Humira
since the start of December and felt ill since just before Christmas. I've fainted twice including Thursday last at work. GP said it is just all too much for me all I need to do is rest. I've managed to get a week off work to rest but still feel awful.

Update on starting Humira
The company that deals with the
Humira
deliveries and the nurse who comes out to help are really easy to communicate with, you get loads of phone calls and the helpline is really good too. There is never any reason to feel in the dark about any of it.
