i am now injecting myself fortnightly with Humira and i am pleased to say i am nearly 100%.........all P has gone, as has the A..........i have joined a gym and i am swimming 4 times a week now. I have just started to use the treadmill and the bikes............i feel strong and healthy for the first time in 10 years

That is how it should be and I am very pleased for you. It's good to hear that these drugs do, occasionally, live up to their promise and I hope it lasts a good long while for you. I wish you well. DD0

thanks DD.........how are you doing?. Are you off the prednisolone now?
the injections started working straight away tbh. I keep picking up injuries in my wrists at the gym, so my body is still weak, but i trying to get it strong again...........i missed my peak due to PA, i feel i am owed one...LOL
the guy that originally told me about humira (when i was at my lowest) is doing well on it as well and he has been getting the treatment for 3 or so years now
i hope it lasts0 -
Hi Chris,
Glad to see you got back
Tis so good the meds are working and long may it work flower. People about to go on the Humira will find this one good to read. Well done for becoming active and reclaiming your life! Cris x0 -
Oh that is such good news Scorpio! Long may it continue.

Wow!!! That is fantastic to hear about and so encouraging for those of us, who are struggling on ineffective meds.
Thanks0 -
I am so pleased for you Scorpio. Humira works really well for me when I can take it.It's just I keep getting chest infections and have to take a break.Make hay while the sun shines Scorpio!

Hi Chris,
Lovely to hear from you again. Wow what a turnaround for you, I am really pleased for you. It is good to hear some uplifting news it gives everyone a boost when these medications work so well.
Please keep in touch and let us know how things are going with you. I hope work is going ok for you.
Best wishes,
I x0 -
thanks for the well wishing everyone............the humira really is great
i take it with diclofenec, paracetamol, codeine phosphate and lansapranazol.....but to bet honest i dont think i need anything other than humira.........my shoulders still slip in and out, but i get almost no pain and i have more energy than non arthritis sufferers.......
my swimming is improving and i am lifting quite heavy weight in the gym..........my plan is to try and rebuild the muscle that has wasted away over 10 years of painfulness.............
long may it continue0 -
Hi Scorpio
That's brilliant news.. I have just had my first Humira injection (8 days ago) and also have had a dramatic response. (I've just posted a message about it)
Please keep in touch
