Adalimumab

I'm on ad blue as I call it. I've been on this for 9 months and I am still struggling with a continuous flare-up that has been going on since May. Has anyone had any success with this treatment at all because I don't seem to be getting anywhere with this. My rheumatologist is only available from 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Monday to Friday with the advice line and even then you're not guaranteed a call back. I have lost the ability to use my hands. I have no fine motor function. I can't hold anything. I had relatively good success with methotrexate. Over 10 years ago when I was first diagnosed, I took it for about 3 years and went into remission and I was in remission for a good 10 years or so until the flare-up back in May last year and then they put me on adalimumab because my housing situation had differed since the last time I was in hospital with psoriatic arthritis. Basically with methotrexate I need to have regular blood tests but because of where I live I can't get to the hospital to have those blood tests. It's catch-22 situation which is very very frustrating.

I’ve been on Adalimumab for 3 years to treat ankylosing spondylitis, and it has caused paradoxically psoriasis on legs and other parts of body. Have been prescribed Fluorouracil but that’s unavailable,now offered an alternative Imiquimod cream.. For me it’s weighing up being able to move each day or deal with the psoriasis. At my next appointment in the summer will ask about alternatives to Adalimumab.
