Humira works for me most the time, but i have CAD so they took me off Celebrex and that makes me hurt more. I also take 8 Methotrexate every Sunday.

Yes, I still have flares but I also have fibromyalgia which also comes with flares. I was on Humira and it didn't work for me. I was then put on Cosentex which also didn't work for me but I saw my rheumatologist a couple days ago and she increased the dosage on the Cosentex. That info also came from a new Rheumatologist. I've had 6 Rheumatologist since my 2018 diagnosis. If previous Dr's had done that, maybe the Humira would have worked. If my symptoms aren't improving and the Rheumatologist isn't thinking outside the box, then I'm moving on to a new Rheumatologist. I'm very vocal about this part of my health.

I’ve been on Humira/Hirimoz for about 10yrs, it completely changed my life, I do have occasional flares for a day and odd joints give way for a few minutes/hours.
