My mom has had severe and debilitating rheumatoid arthritis for 18 years. Her dr. wants to try Humira. Does anyone know of a different and safer treatment option. It hurts me to see her hurt and would really appreciate some help.

Humira is like any other medication you weigh the benefits against the possibility of side effects. Humira does have many side effects. I believe that all the medicines for RA have side effects that can be as bad as the disease,but no one can predict who will or will not have the side effects. RA is a very debilitating and painful disease hope your Mom find relief. Perhaps a cure will be found one day.

I have RA and i used humira . it worked for me for a little while. But i think she should try it. It might work better for your mother then what it did for me. I now use Enrel twice a week and feel much better.

I really don’t know about Humira, but I do know that Remicade as done wonders for a friend of mine. She could hardly walk and now she can even go to the mall for short trips.Good luck to you hope this helps, my prayers are with you and your mom.
