Hi, Suzzy,

Can you paste the link in a reply?

I had my second shot of Humira this past Tuesday. It is helping...a lot. My fatigue is much less. I'd say it has decreased my fatigue by 50% and it helps with the pain, too. I still have swelling and pain in my wrists and ankles and my feet hurt. That being said, I am much better after the shot. It only lasts for about five days or so though, and then the pain and fatigue come sneaking back. By the time I am due for my next shot, I am really hurting. Hopefully, after a few more shots, the relief may last longer...???

V, if you continue to have that issue, humira can be taken weekly, I did that until I had a reaction and had to stop. Ask your doc! :)

Hi, Brad,

What do they do...divide the dose so that you can take it once a week? Or are you actually taking twice the normal dose?

How are you doing, Brad? Have you gone to Washington yet? I'm so excited for you!
