I did not do well on Humira, and Orencia helped some joints but not all of my joints. I did do well on Remicade , but then had an allergic reaction. I will give you my opinion, I think for some of us foods make us feel pain and unless you remove the thing that is causing your inflammation then no matter what med you take you will feel pain. I can't say that is the case for everyone, because I just don't know. But I tried metheltrexate hoping I could eat whatever foods I wanted but I still had visible swelling. I always felt sick too, when I am off those meds I don't feel ill.
When I avoid all the foods that cause me inflammation the pain gets better. I think it has to do with healing our gut, then once its healed you can branch out and eat the foods that you could not touch once before. I have seen a lot of people get better this way.
Diet change has improved my RA. I feel best eating raw veggies and some fruits and avoiding grains, sugars, nightshades, beans and dairy. Sed rate dropped from 65 to 19, but it took over a year.
