Okay, I was resistant to do Humira because I'm doing fairly okay (after extreme liver toxicity from Imuran 3 weeks ago) on nothing but Prednisone and Lialda. Paperwork for Humira was taking awhile, so I'm in a gap right now and am doing fairly okay. (I was just diagnosed in early Nov, and then Imuran just about killed me.)
Today, I find out that my insurance won't cover Humira, so my doc is switching to Plan B, Cimzia. I'm not thrilled about the sudden switch dictated by insurance, nor the fact that it's a newer drug. I need to read up on it, but eep. Wisdom? Advice? Should I try to go drug-free since I'm doing fairly okay? After Imuran and the awful side effects of Prednisone, I'm really really resistant to going on yet another drug now.
