Need Info Before Rheumy Appt.

[Guest guest]

Hi, all.

Has anyone here taken Humira for an extended period?

I have been taking Humira since July, 2004. I don't think it has

been effective. I can't tell any difference. But, since it helps to

prevent further damage, I'm not really sure if I'm supposed to

notice a physical difference. Am I?

I'm seeing my rheumy this Monday and I want to talk with her

about Kineret vs. Humira. She's a wonderful doctor and I trust

her. And, I want to be as informed as possible. I read all the

medical info about Kineret on their home page.

I haven't noticed that anyone has talked about Humira in this

support group. Mostly it's Kineret and Enbrel. But, I'm still fairly

new here: just a few months in the group.

Has anyone been on Humira and switched to Kineret?

I would like some feedback about this before I see her Monday.

Thanks, I really appreciate it. Welynda
