Sulfasalazine Vs Humira
I have read that a lot of people are on Humira. Does anyone know the difference and benefits of Humira verses sulfasalazine (which I am currently on)? I have tried both methotrexate and plaquenil. I could not tolerate the side effects of the methotrexate and the plaquenil did not work. Thank-you in advance!!!
Me too Jennie. Praying for relief for you and all of us. I love this sight because I see so many people so kind and wanting to help each other. It's a blessing for sure.
I was on Humira for about 3 months. It helped but didn't totally take all my pain away. However, coupled with Duexis (high dose of ibprophen) it did wonders! If you decide on Humira Pen, inject in the upper thigh and ice it before for like 5 min. enough to numb it because it HELPED ALOT with the burn that comes with it. Good luck!
Thanks Susan and Kathy for your kind words :)
I can not take sulfa products. I have been on Humira For 15 years, and it is still working very well. I also have osteoarthritis and that is really giving me problems. I reduced my methotrexate from 8 to 6 a week and I do better on that dosage. I think it is important in my treatment. Good luck. Don't give up!
Thank you for the info. I am sorry you are suffering. :(
