It's a shame things aren't really getting any better on the laser treatment Kat and it is as you yourself say a very temporary fix if it works
As for the tnf inhibitor Humira I know there are warnings on the box and there possibly have been issues, but we do know that where you live in America the drug companies have to be mega careful and spell out even the slightest risk. As if it isn't mentioned and something happens then it costs big bucks over there with compensation claims
But it's like every drug we are offered we have to weigh up the risk versus the benefit ...now if you feel the risk is worse than the disease then stick with the disease I say (I was prepared to when I gave up methotrexate) and keep looking for something you feel more suitable
But do have a word with your primary doctor and your heart people and ask them and yourself would it still be on the market after so many years if it was a major risk
I wish you luck with your quest for clearance and hope the new year brings you a treatment you can be happy with
