Humira seems to be working... now to wean from Prednisone?

[Arin B]

hey gang,
I just started Humira last week and even though I felt pretty crappy for about 4 days after the shot and caught a sinus infection, I'm pretty much Crohns symptom free! It's amazing... I just hope it holds.

I've been on 5mg of prednisone and take methotrexate shots weekly, but I'd like to start weaning from those if the Humira continues to do its job. Anyone had experience with weaning from pred and methotrexate? I've been on them both for about a year.

Thanks!

Hi!
My husband starts Humira soon, early next week hopefully. The date is unknown because of insurance approval and I guess someone brings it straight to the house. (?)
He is on Prednisone now. The doc would like him off of it.
I can keep you updated on how he's doing as he is weaning from it.
