I'm not sure if this is just in my head or if it is how these things go so I thought I would ask all of you. I do my Humira fortnightly and it does seem to be helping, not as much as the Enbrel but then I am not suffering giant allergic skin reactions either. On the last few days of the fortnight, before I take a dose, I notice that my body seems to start struggling again. I'm not sure if I am just mentally aware of the need for the next jab or if the arthritis has a little regroup as the Humira is lower in my body. Equally, as I am only on my fourth fortnightly dose, I am not sure whether this will alter over time and be better in a few weeks when it is more 'built up' in my system...any thoughts oh wise arthritics?
Hey little fighter, things will get brighter

How do the girls like the snow ? Mig
I`m glad it`s helping you.
The girls loved the snow, we built a snowman, made it crunch under our feet and then suddenly Tegen found her hands were cold (she did insist on holding snow) so she threw a huge wobbly, we went inside and had some hot vimto and all was well again. If they look out and see the snow covered car at night they get a bit worried and Summer spends ages saying 'car, car, car, car' over and over because she is worried something is wrong with it. Doesn't bother her during the day when she can see and recognise the white snow!
The world is a different place when you're little - both magical and scary. I can imagine Tegan's feelings - a bit like Tom & Jerry when someone steps unwittingly off a cliff but doesn't actually fall until they realise it

I am on my second session of humira.
The first was from 2008-2010 and the second from mid 2012 to now.
In both sessions I have found that any slight drop in my wellbeing
towards the end of the fortnightly periods subsequently disappeared
the longer I injected. I dont notice any drops nowadays.
Two bonuses for me is one I have an injection per two weeks againts
the old regime of 56 tablets during the same period, and two, humira
is a prescribed medication for my crohns disease, so I get two for
the price of one or a bogoff, call it what you will.
I'm happy with that.

I was certainly lucky enough to never suffer in between the fortnight injections and even after a THR when I had to stop for several months I was okay. I think a 6 week gap is about my limit.
