So rheumy nurse phoned me to ask if i would start taking the hydroxy again as consultant wants me on a dmard as well as humira which is being sorted as i type,hydroxy is the only one that didn't upset my liver ,i didn't think it had much affect in its self but they seem to think it helped a little,so its all systems go,my goodness (or words to that effect) these things certainly take time.

    I hope it works well for you, mig. I had it years ago on it's own, big gap and now having it with meth. It works for me. Good luck!

    I apologise for being late to this, it's been a difficult evening. It's rare for an anti TNF to be unsupported by another drug: I've had the longest-lasting result with humira plus meth plus sulph (my other anti TNFs were only supported by sulph which obviously was not enough). I hope the hydroxy plus humira does the trick for you, I really do. DD
