Guest guest Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 I had the same thing happen. Last week I had my fourth shot and now the pain is much less and staying away so far. Becky [ ] Humira question Hi. I just did my third shot of Humira last week, so I've been on it nearly two months. Right away my stiffness and swelling went away. Then after a couple weeks pain in my feet returned, although not as bad as before. My feet are stiff in the mornings now, but only for a little while. Before Humira I had stiffness lasting more than 3 hours each morning, so I am definitely better off now. But pain in my hands is also returning, along with my feet and the continued fatigue, it's not going as great as I expected. Is anyone else on Humira and had a similar experience (great right away, then not so great) and did it get better after several months of being on it? I guess I just thought I would be back closer to 100%. I also thought it would help with the fatigue, but it hasn't much. I am also on 17.5 mgs of mtx weekly and 5 mgs of predisone daily, and folic acid. I have a rhuemy appt in a few days and am curious to see if others have the same or different experiences from mine.
