Something curious has happened to me lately and I’ve been a little nervous to mention it for fear of jinxing myself. Several months ago, when my health insurance was cancelled by my douchy ex-employer and I had to put myself on a craptastic emergency policy that covered only $100 per month in prescription medication, I made a decision to cut some dosages in half or more so that I could make it until my new insurance with my new job picked up. You may have noticed in my meds tab that as of April 09 I was taking:
-1 Humira injection/week
-6 methotrexate/ week
-6 sulfazine/day
-4 Aleve/day
-Prednisone prn
Well, to make a long story short, I have been taking the following for the past month and a half:
-3 sulfazine/day
-1 Humira injection/ bi-weeekly
AND I HAVEN’T HAD ANY PROBLEMS. In fact, my joints just may feel a tiny bit better right now. Now, this was a decision made out of necessity rather than a consultation with my dr, although I did tell my dr I wouldn’t take the mtx anymore because it tore up my stomach so bad. The Aleve was cut because I ran out and didn’t have time to go buy more. When I did finally get more, I realized that I hadn’t taken it in a week.
I CAN’T REMEMBER THE LAST TIME I ONLY TOOK 3 PILLS A DAY!!!!
I do realize that this could change on RA’s whim but for right now, I’m really excited.

Congratulations and let the good feeling continue!
hells yeah, that is awesome!!!!!!!!! good for you and my fingers are crossed that it will continue. I did the stupidly opposite thing of forgetting to take my shot mid-week, and I can tell- not horribly, but i guess a good reminder that yes, i still need two shots of enbrel a week. Enjoy the liberation of fewer pills!
