Yvon is going on Humira

[YvonS]

Yes most Bio's are tried for 12 weeks before deciding the way to go.

Enjoy doing nothing Yvon 

Thanks, i will

I didn't talk to my Rheumatoligist, he called when i couldn't pick up the phone, so he made a new appointment for october.

Meanwhile, there is less change in my complaints in my neck, still a lot of pain, but there are moments that i feel less pain, so hopefully this will progress . 

At this moment i have a increase of my body temperature and i'm feeling very hot, hopefully it won't go to a fever, because tomorrow i have to inject myself again and i don't want to miss a injection due fever.


But everything else is fine

You may want to change your treatment in your bio Yvon

Keep an eye on your temperature it may be worth holding off for a couple of days for the Humira just to be sure, if you are ok in a couple of days just continue as normal.

I will, if the temperature rises, i can get in contact with the Rheumatologist who's on duty and see what's the best option is for me

Beacause my temperature didn't went up (after my last post), i injected on last thursday, 6 days ago.
But i still don't feel great. It feels like the flu without the fever. Some headaches, some nausia, some joint pain is coming back and also some muscle pain and fatigue, my neckpain is still there, it's bad.
But all together, it's also not enough to set off the alarm bells to call the doctor. Or should i? I don't know  

I have another topic about Humira, if anyone experiences that on day 12 the effects become less. But right now i'm on day 6 and it feels like the injection doesn't do anything at all. I don't know what to do.

Perhaps time to try a different one? Humira didn’t work on me at all..

I would certainly report the side effects to your doctor Yvon as it seems as if humira isn't doing much good for the PSA after 2 months and the side effects are not sounding good. He may tell you to continue to 12 weeks if the side effects are bearable as it might be your body adjusting to the medication and may tail off as time goes on

Like Jim said they usually go to week 12 before considering it not working, but yes I would report it just to keep your doctor in the loop.
