i was diagnosed RA a year ago. i was taking prednisone 10 mg/day, meth 10 mg/week

and folic acid 1mg/day. my blood sugar was rather high. i think that is due to the prednisone. when i switched to another rheumatalogy, she took me off the prednison

and increased the meth to 15mg/wk plus eflunomide 20 mg/day. it has been for 4 months.

my symptoms have not beem improved a lot. i stil have pain on my hip, wrist amd fingers.

she is going to put me on Humira. i am worry about the strong side effects very much.

i have read many articles about cancer risk, infections and etc. can any one tell me about your experience and how you think about this ? your imputs are greatly appreciated.
