Going off a biologic
My rheumatologist has suggested that we do a trial off Humira which I have been taking for the past year and a half. He thinks that I may be in remission but I still get breakthrough pain to the point where the duration between shots had to be shortened. Has anyone else had this experience?
That's a tough call
. It would be wonderful if you could go without Humira for a while, but it is also possible that Humira is the reason you are having no pain most of the time. I hope you get some responses from others who have been through something similar. Has your doctor had other patients who have successfully stopped their PsA medications? Warmest of wishes! - Lori (Team Member) Thank you for your response, my rheumatologist says that because I don't have some of the genetic factors that present in people with lifetime PsA, I have a 70% chance of growing out of it. He hasn't told me of other patients like me... I guess we'll see?
