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.

The insurance has not approved my prescription for weekly Humira yet. I don't blame them for resisting it. It's darned expensive medication! Hopefully we'll find out tomorrow if it's been approved.

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.
