I am a big fan of changing Doc's if I just don't feel that our persoalities work out. Particualrly if the Doc is too resitant to my input. I like to be in control or an active participant in what choices ar emade for me.

I also am not a fan of MTX- Mehtotrexate, but if she is planning to just use that to get approval for you to get Humira and you want to try a biologic like Humira then maybe you stick with her for that purpose alone. Maybe you ar enot interested in Humira.

One thing is certain. All of us here respond differently to different med's so it is a lot of trial and error so any Doc is just playing th odds looking for the one that works for you. A doc who changes med's quickly and will not say no or use biologics as a last resort has some value even if there is no personality or compassion there.

Hopeuflly I've waffled sufficiently to be of no help at all but I'm good at waffling a bit.
