Subject: Humira A No Go. What Next?

Hi, my mother has been diagnosed with RA, been in a lot of pain for almost a year now. Has been on painkillers, naproxen, etc. That didn't help. Currently on steroids, methotrexate and saloprazen. Still no relief. She was undergoing tests to see if she was suitable for Humira, but has shown a reaction to TB so she can't take it. What's the alternative? Desperate for information here.

hi , shame she cant take Humira , dont know if it will be the same for all the biologics ,they can give her another DMARD alone with Mtx & Salazopyrin

one thing would say , is in the link section they have Arthritis Care & National Rheumatiod Arthritis Society & both have free help lines , click on the links & you will see it on the front page

hope she feels better soon

Thank you for your prompt reply and the information. Perhaps things aren't as bad as we initially thought as she may still be able to use Humira alongside treatment for TB. She seems so unlucky so far with her treatment, we'll know more towards the end of the week. Thanks again :)
