Failed Humira once and trying again?

[Gcoupe]

Hi,

I'm new to this forum.
I tried Humira in the past about 2 years ago and had success for a few months then relapsed into a flare.

My doctor wants me to try it again and I'm on prednisone right now even though I didn't want to go this route but I'm going to the bathroom 15-17x a day, waking up 5-6 times during my sleep.

Haven't tried Remicade b/c my doctor doesn't offer it in his office, need to go to a RA doctor for infusion.

Also, have tried many medication and came without success. Hopefully I can gain some weight as my flare stops while on SCD diet.

Has anyone found it effective after trying it again?

I once didn't even respond to IV steroids at all.. I don't want to lose hope.

I'm not sure how effective it may be if you are going back on it. Did your doctor tell you there is a chance you will have developed antibodies to it and be unable to take it?

My doctor thinks that I didn't develop antibodies yet. Just the previous flare was too much to take.
He said some of his patients thought they won't respond and they end up responding.
