Well I have psoriasis and about 10 years ago it cleared up and didn't see it anymore and I was stopped taking the Humira plus I couldn't afford it. I was getting it free for a couple years. So the last few years my joints have been getting worse and worse. One doctor said I had arthritis psoriatic arthritis but a few years ago I went to a new doctor and he said I Fibromyalgia and not psoriatic arthritis. I thought maybe if I get back on Humira maybe I'll feel better. I work part-time and I only work 4 hours 2 days a week and when I leave work I'm hurting so bad. I can't hardly get back up after I get home. My joints get so stiff I can hardly walk

It has helped some but not too much! Do you have RA? I am trying to rule out the causes with my doctor

The Humira doesnt help your joint pain? I was wanting to get back on it for my joint pain and HS. But if it doesn't help I don't want to take it
