It took the insurance company several weeks to approve my prescription for weekly Humira, but they finally did. I have to wait a few more weeks and I can call to discuss decreasing my prednisone dose!
I haven't been posting much, life has gotten so busy. There is a lot more chasing the twins around now that one is walking, we've had a lot more activities to attend for the older kids this Fall, plus school now.
One thing about being busy, you don't have as much time to worry about your pain, you just have to go, go, go. But the weather change to cold, rainy and even snow yesterday, has hit me hard as usual. Hopefully the extra Humira will make the difference.

Ah, I hope it will make the difference for you!
I just found your blog a short while ago and wanted to say hi, and thanks for putting together such a great blog!
It's great that you were able to get that approved. These biologics are great, but a "bit" hard on the pocketbook to pay out of pocket for them!
I wanted to mention also that I have juvenile RA, and after trying Enbrel and Humira (normal dosing of weekly and biweekly, respectively), my rheumatologist has decided to switch me to a new family of biologics. Enbrel and Humira (TNF-blockers) just didn't work well enough for me, so Orencia (T-cell "blocker") is next. Just a thought to run by your doctor in case this weekly Humira doesn't work for you. Good luck with the increase in Humira!
