I did the regular humira june 2013 til about a year ago and now have been on the citrate free humira for about a year and both work the same and both have been wonderful for me except that the citrate free one doesn't hurt.

I take it weekly and it has been very helpful.

but I do still flare just not as often as badly as I used to. About once a year i need methylpred for my neck and about once a year i need methylpred for my SI joint.

So maybe you just went into a bad flare?

the humira does help a lot for me, but sometimes it is no match for my flares, but instead of needing methylpred every 10-13 weeks, it's now once or twice a year.

taking it weekly has also been a game changer compared to taking it every two weeks.
