I'm on just Humira.  Meth didn't help me at all and I've tried the Prednisone, but my doc. doesn't want me to take it for very long periods of time so I got off it as well.  I went through a really hard few months with no meds at all trying to get myself cleared of all the meds, then I couldn't take the pain anymore and I tried Humira.  I've had only 2 injections so far, but the difference is TREMENDOUS.  I can move again.  Its amazing stuff.  I'm vacationing in Arizona and plan to try out a little "fake and bake" tanning before I go.  I think if you wear sunscreen and try not to overdue, it will be fine. But there is an increase risk of melanoma with taking Humira.  But I grew up in Arizona originally and baked myself crazy all my life...so I think I already have that risk anyway.     Good luck.
