If you want to use this QR code (Quick Response code) just save the image and paste it where you want. You can even print it and use it that way. Coffee cups, T-Shirts etc would all be good for the QR code.

On my first visit to a Rheumy, he gave me some information on Humira and said he would put me on it if my lab tests and x-rays show that Humira can help me. I am hoping my insurance will cover it. Their website says they do, but you have to prove that other meds don't work. I have been taking NSAIDs on and off for years but had to quit because I developed UC. I have been taking 6-MP and it has kept the UC in remission but does nothing for the AS symptoms. I see Rheumy again in about two weeks. I sure hope I can get it. I am really getting bad and I can't do any of the things I enjoy doing.

Just wanted to wish you luck, Ghostride.
I've been on Humira since January, and it's made such a difference to my life. I pray that it will do the same for you.
Do let me know how you get on.
Hugs

How is it going, Ghostride?
I took my third dose last night. For me there was a very quick improvement in my vision after my first dose (uveitis is the main reason that I'm on it as my joint pains are mostly controlled through diet these days) - but I was able to eat hot cross buns over Easter without any problems, which a year ago would have made me very uncomfortable!
Hope that you will see a real improvement soon!
