Hi
I wondered if anyone who'd taken Humira had the same problem I've been having I'm lowering my pred from 20mg and am now on 10mg (still twice what rheumy wants me on) but I don't seem to feel the effects of the injection until 2 days after and have 8 goodish days and then I'm totally back to being seized up again which as I have RA all over except for hips and elbows not very helpful, my hands are usually worse affected.
Until 6 months ago I was on Enbrel, which was fantastic, until the white cell and neutrophils dropped too low but this doesn't seem as good. I've been taking it since end of Oct. Should I see some improvement by now?
