Back on Humira.

Just to say I took my Humira a few mins ago after a break of about 7 weeks maybe more,because my foot is collapsing and cracking and hurting terribly and both hips are hurting too, even the replaced one that hurts where the bone meets the new bit. I have decided my cold is better and I can't stand any more arthritis pain. I am just hoping the cold does not get worse and the pain lessens.
I thought it would be interesting to see how long it takes to improve and how my cold symptoms react. A kind of mini- experiment I suppose.

Hi Elizabeth,
I so hope it will start to ease up the bones quickly and your cold doesn't get worse. I guess in 7 weeks it will still be a residue in your body? Not sure how watered down it will be but fingers crossed the cold will not rev up again and the bones will back off.
Hope you and your family enjoy your selves over Christmas and stay safe in the ice! ((( ))) and some buckets of good lucks and get betters. Cris xx0 -

Good luck from me too. Hope you start to feel the benefit soon.
Happy Christmas!

Thankx Tilly, DD, Iris and Cris.
Merry Christmas not long to go now. No sign of any improvement yet. In fact my left knee feels like a balloon, foot still buckling under me, hips sore but the cold symptoms have gone. I did not blow my nose once today.
I am exhausted and want to go to sleep but the children are excited and I have a few more pressies to wrap.
Have a lovely Christmas.

Hello Cris, DD , Barbara and Elna.
I am still in pain in my left knee and ankle but the rest of me is okay. My hip pain is much better although I still get twinges in the join of the THR. It has been suggested it is the new tendons knitting together. I wonder?I am about to take my MTX so the humira/mtx mix might start working.
Cris my stomach problems are definately MTX linked as I have got better since off MTx and it comes back when taking it again.
Had a dreadful night in a different bed and it was agony to roll over. I was sandwiched between 2 of my children as both wanted a cuddle.

Well at this point, a week later, I am pleased to say the ankle pain is much better and I managed to sleep really well last night (despite thomas the tank trains, a toy cat, a pair of headphones and a psp on the bed and a pile of mags and books ). The hip pain has eased but the knee still feels swollen. So all in all much better.I am trying to rest my legs more now that Christmas is over and this is helping too.

Well I have yet another very bad cold, mostly a sore throat so holding off on this weeks methotrexate. I am wishing I had that flu jab in October now.
Still have pain in my knee and sometimes my ankle but hips have been fine with no pain at all just a little soreness.I hope it is not going to flare up again now off the MTx but I expect it will.

Get yourself better and then have the flu jab. That should stave off any more infections, I hope. I have had mine every October/November for years and rarely have the sniffles - it's worth it. I hope you feel better soon. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

Thanks DD. I seem to have had a permanent cold since the children returned to school in September. Last year I had the flu jab and was fine.Trouble is I can't shake this one off to be well enough for my flu jab.It doesn't help that friends keep bringing their very sick children to the house telling us how ill the poor lambs are. I can see for myself thankyou.

Dear Elizabeth,
I am so sorry to hear that you have yet another cold or this cold on top of the other that was just about gone. Oh dear, your new year is not getting off on a good footing, is it? I do hope that this sore throat magically disappears. It would be a good idea if you could have the flu jab when you are well enough and let's hope that is soon. Speak soon,
Love

Oh Elizabeth that is so unfair to get another cold and sore throat. I had my first ever Flu injection in Nov so perhaps I have been lucky after all.
I do hope you start to feel better soon.
