I don’t have PMR; I’m actually a caregiver for my father who has PMR, so not sure if my experience is transferable.

But I’m on Humira; it’s a TNF blocker (a type of cytokine that causes inflammation). Before, I took Enbrel, also a TNF blocker. I have seronegative spondyloarthropathy (it affects the insertion points where tendon goes into bone, i.e. where the Achilles inserts into the base of the heel).

We had to do the usual trial and error approach. If pharmacogenomics were to advance enough, how great would it be to just be able to know which medications are must likely to work without having to go through potentially months to see which class and type of medications would work best?
