Opioids not helping pain. Tried percocet now hydrmorphon. Hints on dealing with fatigue?Takes off the edge but still brutal especially at night. How do others find relief at night?

Ask your rheumy about the Vectra blood test. Your rheumy doesn't seem to be fighting to get you under control and out of pain. The Humira might be working but maybe something else would work better.

Hi Tonda. I was diagnosed withRA about 7 years ago. I started out on plaquenil and then he added methotroxate. Then suggested Humirawhich I have been on for 5 years now. Have gone off plaquenil...was affecting my vision. I just saw dr last week and asked again about pain. Said blood tests prove humira working and that humira isn't for pain. Says not concerned unless any of my joints swell (which they do on and off). Blood test showed I wasn't in a flare up either.
