I went to the rheumatologist yesterday. We had previously talked about prescribing Humira weekly instead of bi-weekly. I have been feeling better since my last visit but more days than not I have pain in my feet, hands and/or elbows. We know pain means inflammation, and inflammation means joint damage, and we want to stop joint damage. Plus I can't seem to get to the point I can wean off the Prednisone. If more shots means getting off Prednisone it will be worth it.
I am feeling very lucky to have health insurance.

Yes, me too! I was always paranoid about not having health insurance and now that I've been diagnosed again with arthritis it's even more vital. We're so blessed to have good insurance.
I am so happy to have good insurance also!
I am in flare again and have to resort to a steroid dose pack. Yuck!
I'm grateful as well. I hope this will make a big difference for you!
im so thankful for my medical insurance, i only hope it covers something stronger than lortab and ambien, if my doc would ever care enough to give em lol, i just started a new blog http://painandstuff.blogspot.com/
I finally have it after over three years of not having any!
It's such a big difference. Such a load off my shoulders.
I hope upping the dose helps you:)
Anything to be off the evil that is prednisone....
