I just want to share what I went though in the past year. I started working for my rheumaologist and with this I learned alot about RA. I was scared to go on Humira which is my wonder drug now without it I let RA rule me. On humira I am me again. Like many of our patients they are so afraid of the drugs and I was to but what I needed to realize is I can't control what may or may not happen but what I could control was what happens now and how these drugs have made a positive affect for me. I can't worry about the side affects that may never happen and I noticed this is what holds most people back from taking control of their RA. For me I can deal with one thing at a time and yes I have RA and thats it. I don't have any of the side affects and I may never have them and if something may come my way then I will deal with that. I think humira has been wonderful in giving me my life back I can't say I don't get flare ups anymore but nothing like they were. So I guess why I wanted to share this is don't be afraid with something that may never happen. Treatment for RA has come a long way this is what I have learned working for a rhem. and their are so many new drugs out their and humira may not be for you and may not work for you as I have seen but don't give up you may be surprised one drug may be your wonder drug!


Oh I am so happy for you! You feel like yourself again that is awesome. I just asked my doctor today can I ever expect to feel like myself again. That is just great news. Take care and stay well
