Over three months... Still not working?

[MJ229]

Hi There!

I started Humira in early October and I am still flaring. I am curious if any of you noticed a difference after 3 months. My GI is talking about Remicade next (I am having a hard time with that for some reason... We are looking at starting the week after next :-/) I keep hoping Humira will come through for me soon.

Thanks Everyone.

If you have had no response in 3 months it is unlikely it will work. That's pretty much the timetable to see if it makes a difference before considering other options.

Thanks for your reply.

From everything I am researching it seems like that 3 months is the deciding factor if it will work or not. :-/

I noticed that in your medication section you are taking Remicade.. How has that been working for you? My GI and I have talked about it
But I am so nervous about taking it.

Yes 3 months is pretty much the deciding deadline for most docs. I think Remicade has helped somewhat but I'm still in pain so not sure how much it's done. I was very nervous about it but now wish I just started it years ago because it's not that bad.

Well I'm into my second month and still no improvement.

So frustrating

We just hit the 2 month mark and no progress in getting better. We are also doing it in combination with Methotrexate. Hope it starts working soon.

Humira didn't start working for me until about 2 1/2 months and didn't really kick in fully till over 3months. You could give it a little more time if you are able to.
