I think you're doing the right thing by moving up the date to start Humira. When your RA is as active as yours, it can cause a lot of damage in three months. Besides, Humira can take about two months to really kick in, so that would extend the process even further. One note of caution: I learned in that RA forum I attended last year that when you stop methotrexate, you have to do it very, very slowly, because if you do too fast, you may go into a Brenda's flare. Your doctor may be suggesting methotrexate and Humira at the same time and that sort of combination therapy is quite common.   I saw your question in another place about choosing Humira or Simponi and as far as I know, it doesn't really matter which biologic you start with. It seems to be more a question of which one fits into your lifestyle, but that's primarily a injection versus infusion question. You know my experience with Humira - I've been on it since early 2007 and I'm still every day grateful for it and what it's done for my life. I hope it works the same for you. Keep in mind that if it doesn't, there's another eight Biologics to try. There is hope.   I'll be thinking of you.   p.s. thanks for letting me know about the folic acid question. I was on methotrexate 2000-2004, so that was before it got added to foods. It explains something I've been wondering about - it seems that  it's only prescribed to people have certain side effects of methotrexate, so now I know why!
