humira - how long does it take to kick in??/

When I was first diagnosed, I was put on Remicade, Remicade got me out of the hospital, but I got a horrible reaction to the drug. So, I switched to Humira.... so, I'm not sure if that started me in the right direction and the humira took it and ran with it, but I was completely in remission by the end of September which means it took me about 4 months to pull me out of the flare after switching meds.

I started it in January of this year, after using Remicade for the previous three years & creating antibodies to the Remicade. So, like Sweetie, I'm not sure if the Remicade was pushing me into remission prior to starting Humira. But by the time I did start Humira, Remi wasn't do much of anything. After my loading doses, things improved & continued to do so with each bi-weekly injection. I'm not on a plateau, I have morning urgency, 3-6 bm's every morning, then I'm good for the day. I'd say it took a good 2 months of bi-weekly injections to get me where I am today. Keep the faith!
