So my doctor is thinking he may put me on weekly humira shots instead of every two weeks did anyone reach Remission or show a difference?

I'm on 80mg week. Not in remission....yet. Definitely helping though, but dealing with never ending fistulas.

I started Humira in 2004 at one 40mg shot biweekly (every 14 days). It pretty much put me in remission but I noticed that I started having symptoms 2 or 3 days before I was due for a shot. After a year, my dose was changed to one 40mg every 10 days. Bam! I stayed in remission for almost 8 years and lasted the whole 10 days without symptoms. I would definitely recommend trying the dose increase.
