I went to see my rheumy yesterday, and he wants me to continue on
humira until the summer. He thinks that it is working, albeit very
slowly. He feels that I am about 1/2 way better and that it is best to
wait and give the drug a chance to work. In March my ESR was 89, and
CRP was 85. In my April labs my ESR was 58, and the CRP was down as
well. I can also go to once a week.

Well, Rose, here's praying that the humira continues to improve your
situation and the sooner the better!   Hoping you notice drastic
improvements soon!

Hang in there, you're not too far from the end of the school year!!!

Hugs,

shortlived.  cheering you and your improvement on!
