My mom has been helping me with it, but she hasn’t experienced what I am going through right now, so it feels like we’re trying whatever we f

TL;DR: After 4 months, The efficacy of Humira seems to have bottomed out for me. My dermatologist has offered to help me switch biologics, or for me to wait and see what my new rheumatologist thinks at my first appointment in September. Not exactly sure what to do.
