ADALIMUMAB-ADBM vs Etanercept

I just needed to tell someone, I did my injection (Adalimumab-adbm) by myself for the first time yesterday. My husband usually does it, but unfortunately we are having issues and I just decided I need to do this myself rather than rely on him. I am proud of myself. However, I am not sure if I did s

And I have already looked into it, read research papers, first hand accounts on here and talked to both my doctors and my specialty pharmacist. Who all 3 agree that if they had it their way I would stay on Humira and tried to fight for it. All that said I'm hoping it's no different or better! I've

UPDATES BELOW: I feel like i"m about to lose my mind. I've been in so much pain for a year now. So fatigued. What are your experiences with such a denial, appeal, and plan of care ? May 2023: first R visit By the time we did all the tests I was able to get on Otezla in October 2023. Had to

Hey, everyone 👋🏼 I (27M) was diagnosed with AS last August after a relatively short process of looking into my years-chronic upper back pain. My rheumatologist had a lot of previous experience with AS, and my symptoms checked all the boxes for her after we did some testing. Through the Fall, I sta

I finally got somewhere with my rheumatologist, and I'll be starting Adalimumab-adbm. I have BCBS insurance, and my pharmacy benefits manager is Express Scripts. I've had nightmare experiences with Express Scripts and my asthma medication that requires prior authorization renewals, so I'm not unfam

Have taken 2doses of Adalimumab-adbm so far and now the skin around my spots and plaques is peeling. Looks like a sunburn peel…anyone else experience this? Never happened with any of the biologics ive been on so far, even when they cleared it never peeled like this…

Hey there! I’m coming up on 30 years living with RA. I was diagnosed as a young woman - only 22 years old! I was originally diagnosed seronegative RA, but am now seropositive. I’ve been on biologics over 25 years. I’ve managed to lead a full life after diagnosis: corporate career, two kids, world tr

hi guys, I recovered from long Covid, it started beginning 2022 for me and I relapsed many times, because any time I recover I’d get Covid again and bam another 3 months in bed. I’ll probably get it again, if I get Covid again. But I really pray and take all precautions to not get it. I know it’s di

Hi everyone, I'm writing on behalf of my partner, because we’re both overwhelmed and could really use some advice and support. After nearly **8 years of pain and being misdiagnosed**, he was finally diagnosed with **Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS)**. For years, doctors said it was just stress, posture,

Edit: some folks brought up the very good point that you need to balance effects of any treatment against the effects of doing nothing. I was only focusing on the side effects of TNFi bc that's what I received a bunch of good (published) shareable info from my doc on, but we have had previous conver

I have been doing a lot of AI deep searches to find a way to reduce PD progression by using various supplements. Below is the extract of the findings. I suspect that for people at the early stages of PD might benefit from the effects and potentially slow down PD progression. If we have enough peo

I just switched insurances (new job), and my new insurance won't cover Enbrel for psoriatic arthritis, preferring one of 3 other TNF blockers. I've been on Enbrel for the last 5 years, and would really rather not switch away from something that's working so well, especially since I work in healthcar
