Hi

I was on imuran, pred and many others, remicade etc.
I was put on humira and honestly it has changed everything. tiredness has gone down. I am eating better and it isnt as much of a drain on my body that I found the other meds to be.

It does take a while to kick though, and you will start off with a high dose. I think it was four injections, two, then down to the maintence one every two weeks
