Hey dmx.
Im sorry you are in so much pain. I know this post is older so I hope you have had some relief. I went through very similar treatment from family and I had to eventually cut off ties to a few of them. However, the positive in this is that I now know who is an advocate and who is not.
As far as humira I took it and I had immediate results from it and was virtually pain free within a week of my first shot. The downside is that I got an infection from it and had to stop taking it. I'd say give it a shot (no pun intended) and see if it helps. Yes these meds can have long-term side effects but in a way anyone with a chronic condition has to surrender and "just go with the flow". Trust me I understand what you are going through but being in excruciating pain is not quality of life. If humira can help this then I'd say do it. AS far as your depression and thoughts of suicide, I've been there and understand. But it gets better and you will learn how to cope with this.
