Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / September 2005I can bend my finger! - the little joys in life!
Hi all, I took my 2nd dose of Humira this past Sunday and I woke up this morning able to bend my middle finger, which for several months has become a "reverse trigger finger" at night and into the morning. I believe it's the tendon sheath tat swells and won't allow my finger to bend. Usually it takes a very hot shower, hairbrushing and about an hour to get it to loosen. But today, for the first time in months, I woke up able to bend! OK, small vistory, but a very promising one, considering it was occuring on 20mg mtx and enbrel - heck, even prednisone! So the humira seems to be doing something! yay!!! just had to share! alison Alison, an encouraging start!

Had been on enbrel for 4 years, with a year break in 2003 due to preg. alison do you feel as though the humira is working better for you? did the enbrel fade? diane, curious mind it's a small difference so far, but it's only been 2 wks so I'm feeling positive about it. Yes, the enbrel stopped working as effectively as it had when I first started. My old RD had told me the biologics typically don't do that, but it was pretty obvious that's what happened for me. Same happened with the mtx and the plaquenil before. Hopefully the humira works effectively for a long while. alison fingers crossed for you! diane Ouch, I haven't been able to cross my fingers for years even tho they are fairly flexible, they are just too thick.
