Thanks guys - really appreciate your comments. So, Redmazzy, I held off injecting until today. Thats about 3 months since my last injection.
Like you, it was my neck - severe pain and loss of mobility - feeling like a robot. So, lets see what happens. Hopefully the pain will stop tomorrow or the next day and I will try to hold off injecting for another couple of months.
Why take more of this stuff than is necessary.
Just a word of caution. I've read many times from many sources that the further between injections, the more likely that the body will produce antibodies to the biologic rendering it ineffective over time.
Thus even when I feel pretty good, I take my humira by day 14; if I'm not feeling so well, I take it at day 10. I recently had a GI bug and so held off til day 23, but that was the longest I've gone without it.
Do as you and your doctor think best, but just this word of caution. I'd hate for this to happen to you (become resistant to the biologic) without having heard of this.
