That 20% improvement statistic in point 2 makes sense to me. It took me months to realize that the Humira was having a positive effect and thinking back 20% improved describes it well. That’s much better than nothing at all because it extended my day and made it possible to exercise more effectively, but it was not a miracle.
Now I am worried about the paper by Dr Pincus et al where he states “A target of low disease activity or remission
according to recognised quantitative
criteria is not applicable to all
patients, on the basis of patient choice,
comorbidities including fibromyalgia,
joint damage and other variables, and
even older age.” http://www.clinexprheumatol.org/article.asp?a=6528
Sounds like as I age the aggressive strategies may just disappear. I am sure that others may not like the trend we may see in the future
