I have been on the Humira for about 6 weeks, and overall pretty happy. Although, have noticed bruises take alot longer to heal..like weeks (kind of freaked me out in the beginning). In addition, I am big runner and I hurt my knee and have noticed…

Hi, Ryan, I don't have a lot of information for you other than to just fight the insurance company. Sometimes the manufacturers will make it available at a lower price, too -you would need to contact them - but I think that's pretty rare.…

Hi, Jane - I'm sorry to hear you are having such a hard time. Let us know how the Stelara goes for you. What you said about Humira is a bit worrying to me! Can you let me know what homeopathic things were working for you back in the day?…

Good to know! I was going to use the autoinject pens - but now I'll use the syringes, I guess. I am unreasonably afraid of injecting myself - how did that go for you? I had heard it stings. I decided to do Humira because you only have to do it…

Humira worked great for me, but after a year it stopped working. If you do decide to start Humira, ask your doctor for the pre-filled syringes and not the auto-inject pens. Humira does sting going in and I found out that when you use the pre-filled…

Any information on using Humira?

Hi, I am new here, so this may have been answered before. My derm wants me to use Humira, and I am thinking it over. Methotrexate worked for about a year, but stopped, and now I am having a big flare-up (sigh). I'd love to know anyone's feelings about Humira, Enbrel, injections, etc. Thanks!
