I was on Humira when first came out and gave myself injections for 7+ years. It was wonderful worked great. I could call them if had a problem, didn’t have a nurse. But I have a friend who is a nurse also my rheumatologist is the best. He himself called me several times. Was in remission over a year and then it went active again with a vengeance. Back on Humira but it had stopped working. Since 2014 I’ve been on most all the other biologic meds. Now on Rinvoq over a year. Seems to be the one that helps some. That’s the problem most meds work for a while then stop. I’m going to have to stop all RA meds soon because I’m having major back surgery soon. So I’ll be off them at least a month+. Couple weeks before and 2-4 weeks after. I hate going off. It takes time getting back on and working well.
Prayers for all of you.

It do not work for me but you can also access the videos that also help. The ambassador program is an extremely big help. They could not come out to me because I live in an area like the country. But they did send me a lot of information and videos online and talked on the phone a lot. Good luck gentle hugs 🤗

@A myRAteam Member I was a medical assistant, phlebotomist, and went to paramedic school. It's totally different when giving yourself injections. I hope you will get the extra care you need. It definitely helped me and yes the brain fog is a huge issue!

Abbvie is the maker of many different meds used for RA. It’s not just Humira. Look it up they pretty much have the market cornered. That’s why they offer nurse ambassadors. It’s so they report reactions or problems quickly to the manufacturer and researchers.

Yes, i've been really pleased with the program. i inject myself weekly, it's quick and easy. much easier than going anywhere to get an iv! Best of luck and a pain free day to all of us!
