Tuesday, March 30th I went to the rheumatologist for my 2nd visit. She could see from the inflammation that I still have several active joints. We have decided to up my methotrexate dosage from 6 pills a week to 8 pills a week.
I was given a few choices. Up the dosage. Up the dosage and start the process for approval (through insurance) for Humira. Leave the dosage the way it was and in about 6 weeks I could participate in a clinical study. We went with upping the dose and working towards getting me on Humira. She also did a TB scratch test that had to be done before I can start on the Humira. That was negative. I asked for whichever route would get me feeling better the soonest...my son is graduating from high school in 6 weeks...I have much to do!
The Humira is an injection I will give myself every other week. She has also started reducing the prednisone dosage from 10 mg to 7.5 mg.
