I was also wondering if anyone takes other anti inflammatory meds while taking Remicade or Humira?
I'm on Humira.
I do take an Aleve about once or twice a month, often for migraines, but sometimes to get me to the next Humira shot.
Sometimes I'll take an Aleve once or twice a day for a few days after about a week since my Humira shot if its wearing off particularly early.
And when I first started Humira, June 2013, that August, I needed a 10 day course of methylprednisone for a particularly nasty flare. Prior to Humira, I always had nasty summer flares and that first year was no different, but haven't needed to do that since. And last summer and so far this summer, summer flares seem better.
I will also take methylprednisone if I go to a week long conference in a city, because even now, even after 3+ years on Humira, my feet can not handle the amount of walking on hard concrete that is necessary. Since I only go once every year or two, its not really too much steroid.
So yes, I do use meds as I need to, but mostly now its just Humira. And I'm still on daily LDN (low dose naltrexone).
