Hi all, I finally made the switch to humira from enbrel. still on 20mg of
mtx as well. Hopefully I don't flare. I'm thinking the drugs are similar
enough that I shouldn't but you never know. I have to call the dr. on monday
b/c when I got the rx last night, it listed 1x/wk, which I thought was odd
since they RD said we'd start at every 2 wks to see how things were going
(though she said she thought we'd up it to 1x/wk at the next appt.). I'll
call on monday to get it straightened out... If it was a mixup, I'm fine
with that since that means I got an extra month free. lol
juat wondering who else has gone to 1x/wk - any major improvements?
I was glad I finally made the leap to change because joint pains have really
started to creep up lately, and they appear to be sticking around so
hopefully the change will help keep them away...
thanks - alison

Just be careful if you do go to once per week. I ended up with a lot
of infections (ear aches, bronchitis, strep, etc.) while I was on it
weekly. It just didn't agree with me. I seem to do better all around
with my remicaid. Good luck and stay away from germy people.

Just posting this for you again. HTML does not show up
for half the people reading a newsgroup. Ask if you
need help turning it off.
I'm on Remicade so can't help.
