Hello all. Thought I'd let you know how things are. Saw rheumatologist yesterday. She gave me a steroid injection to tide me over...that has already made so much difference! In the meantime, i need an xray of my hands to see how much damage is there. Then she will decide if Humira is still working or if i need a change. I have a feeling there will be a change. Next appt is in August to decide.
For now, i think i will focus on my diet. That's got to make a difference, i hope. Don't know why i never really thought of that before properly. I'm not overweight, i just eat the wrong stuff sometimes.

I don't have RA but OA in multiple places and totally understand the frustration and isolation which pain causes. I hope that the steroid works for a while and that you can get out more.

Did the rheumatologist comment on your recent blood results as that's usually what determines whether or not the meds are working? Perhaps another will be thrown into the mix rather than exchanging humira for something else.
We all 'eat the wrong stuff sometimes'. Paragons of virtue can be quite difficult to live with
