I have had psoriasis for over 40 years and arthritis for about
25. I have only been on Humira for about
3 months and it has been terrible. I am so fatigued that I can't make it to work but part-time and have a teenage daughter and hate that I am not able to do things with her like I have in the past, even with psoriasis and arthritis. I have finally decided to stop the Humira. I have been on a lot of biologics since I passed my child-birth age and have not been totally satisfied with any of them (Enbrel, Stelara, ointments, steriods, injections, etc.)
I am going to go the holistic route and just try to treat my skin and use hot tub baths and pain killers to help with the pain. I have been so scared of developing something more serious, like cancer, with drugs like Humira, Enbrel and the like. I have been worrying more about the medicine than the pain of dealing with the condition.
When not on medicine, my condition is considered severe and my arthritis is painful, but I am willing to go another way and I think going back to nature is the way to start. I can't come off my pain medicine and will need to use ointments at first, because with my experience, I will experience a severe reaction when I stop the Humira, but that usually settles down.
Let me know what natural remedies you use. I want to work up a plan for myself in addtion to the vitamins I currently take.
