From what I understand, I think it's better to start with Remicade and when (if at all) it become ineffective, you can go to Humira. Because the Remicade has the mouse protein, you're more likely to become allergic to it, and then you can go to Humira which is essentially the same thing only 100% human. Plus, Remicade is once every 8 weeks; I would be forgetful with the Humira probably. Remicade takes a few hours, but I think of it as a forced opportunity to sit back and take a nap. :) And I handle being stuck by someone else much better than sticking myself.
But I could be misunderstanding what Humira is.
