6 month humira/ adalimumab review for psoriatic arthritis

I was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition called psoriatic arthritis in April 2023 and have been taking methotrexate since May 2023. 6 months ago I had my first humira/adalimumab injection and have now taken around 12 shots in total. The methotrexate helped a bit but with the humira/adalimumab I've made great progress I wanted to document my experience from the start, giving monthly updates to help other understand what to expect.

Welcome to my channel Lifting out of the Lows where I share and document my experience with mental health, depression and bipolar cyclothymia and also psoriatic arthritis. I hope from sharing these videos and my experiences I'm able to help people along their own journey and make it somewhat easier (if that's possible) as I talk about things such as:
How to stop feeling depressed
My experience with mental health
How to stop feeling anxious
How to improve your mental health
My journey through life
How to take action
How to be happier in life
How to build a strong mind
How to deal with the challenges life throws at you
I haven't got it all figured out, far from it. We're all on a journey that one never stops learning from but by creating these videos my aim is to help people and start more of a conversation around mental health. If you like the videos like, share and all the rest as the louder the message I'm sure the more people will benefit

Thank you giving me hope. I’m a fellow psoriatic athritis sufferer. Diagnosed last August my condition has rapidly got worse and has not responded to high dosage of methotrexate. Due to go on biologics end of August. Hope get my life back too. Was an avid gym and yoga goer but had to reduce this massively due to pain and limited flexibility. ❤

Stay positive. The biologics have given me my life back. I wish you well!

Thanks for the update. my son has been in methotrexate for 4 months and whilst it’s helped about he is not right. We hope to get a Biologic soon. Do you still take methotrexate?

Hi Michael,
Yes I still take MTX 20mg once a week but at my next rheumatology appointment in august I’m going to discuss lowering the dose to 17.5mg as I would prefer to just be on just the biologics in the long term but it will be an experimentation from here. Hopefully over the next couple years I’ll be able to just be on the biologics because I feel that’s what’s made the real difference
Tell your son to keep going. It’s a hard road but I guess that’s life sometimes.
I wish you both well
