Stelara to Humira change

[ccarr06]

I went the other way as I had a reaction to Humira and ended up in hospital for 5 days. I'm a bit surprised they are proscribing it for psoriatic arthritis, but we are all different.

If you put Humira in a Search you will find a lot of threads.

But good luck and do keep us updated.

Thanks Fred! I'm slightly worried about coming off Stelara as it's worked so well for me when Fumaderm and mtx didn't work. I'll definitely update when I make the switch, it'll be a couple of months as I have to wait until I would have been due the next Stelara injection to start Humira.

I will never ever use MTX again, it did totally nothin for my Psoriatic Arthritis.  So I think in your case I would try Humira, not that I think it will work… as it is a TNF blocker, and I am not sure on them for Psoriatic Arthritis. But it is the upstep to the better biologics.

MTX did nothing for me when I was on it, even at the highest dose so I very firmly shut them down when they suggested it. They said the injection form may work better but I held firm so they didn't push it any further thankfully. That's when they suggested a TNF blocker and prescribed Humira. Fingers crossed it works
