Ho Ho Ho! Fellow Patients! My Questions: Anyone Taking Humira To Treat Spondylitis Chronic Pain? Any Other Non-opioid Meds Successful?
I have done one dose of Humira - also definitely not a fan of self injecting. Now on Remicade, although switching to its biosimilar Inflectra because of insurance. Get my first Inflectra dose on Tuesday. I'm allergic to a very long list of meds, but on high dose Gabapentin for my nerve pain and methacarbomol as needed for my muscles spasms. And couldn't survive without my neurostimulator which reduces the intensity of my chronic pain all around
It's the first one offered by Rheumis as mandated by insurance companies without testing for TNF-a activity. Ugh. Stupid rule, insurance companies dictating health protocols without testing, which is available by the way. Sorry to say, but your just another brick in the wall for them. 😒 You're better off consulting a nutritionist, physical therapist, abd/or functional medicine dr. No medicine can help you if you dont identify the triggers and avoid them or get help dealing with them. Good luck Daniel. Reach out anytime. 😌🙏
Humira (adalimumab) is used to treat ankylosing spondylitis, especially when other medications are ineffective. It targets inflammation by inhibiting TNF-α. Non-opioid options include NSAIDs like naproxen or indomethacin, corticosteroids for flares, and DMARDs like methotrexate or sulfasalazine. Anticonvulsants like Show Full Answer
