Treatment for AS

I was diagnosed with AS in 2012. I've been prescribed nsaids like arcoxia, vimovo and they dont work anymore for me. Then i was prescribed dmard called methotrexate, self injection but I had adverse reactions. Now its suggested I use the biologic Humira, any thoughts?? Anyone on this?? Advice appreciated ๐Ÿ˜Š

  1. welcome to the community

    1. I'm currently in Humira injections with no side affects. I've been on Naproxyn and Sulfasalasine for.mamy years. I'm not seeing much improvement but ill keep.goimg until I find the right drug for me. It's worth a shot for you to try and ease the pain too ๐Ÿ˜Š

      1. Humira works better for me than Cosentyx and I never had any side effects. I am not doing very well right now though , but my rheumatologist said my MRI showed that my spondylitis isn't inflamed right now. It was before. So I guess that makes it worth taking as it can help slow the progression. Right now I am dealing with the osteoarthritis.

        1. Hi again,

          I am happy to hear Humira is helping you with the inflammation. I know you are not feeling well right now. Sending you strength and wishing you for tomorrow to be a better day for you. Thinking of you!!!

      2. Hi,
        Welcome to our community. Hope your feeling well today. I hope your new journey on Humira goes well and you find relief. I was on Humira for a while, but I had to get off as it didn't help me. But now on Cosentyx and I have seen improvement slowly. I would think biologics can help a lot, once you find the right one.

        Wishing you all the best and keep us updated,
