Hi, I have been on Humira for 3 months later. Was told that people generally see positive results in the first month however, can take up to 3 months. I did notice positive results in the 2nd month however, I am at 3 months today and certainly feel better, but thought that I would feel a lot better by now. Did you need longer than 3 months? thanks

Hey, I've been on Humira for years and still feel far from healthy. The doctors keep saying, "but your tests keep coming back clear; you must be in remission", but symptomatically, I'm not. That said, I'm still much better than I was without the drug.

My advice would be to keep a daily log of your symptoms, to give it more time, but perhaps don't expect miraculous results. Some of us "just" get improved quality of life on these drugs: not everyone achieves a symptom-free remission.

Keep hanging in there.

Ivy.

I have been on it for about 5 months and although it has helped with my joint pain, that is about it. I am still very unwell.

Thank you for your response.

I've been waiting 2 years for humira to do for me what remicade used to do. I don't think it's going to happen. I hope it helps you a lot, but it might not. Give it a few more months, but don't hold out forever (like me) hoping for something that might not happen. Sorry if that sounds negative, but I'm just wanting you to have the hope of finding something that will work for you!
