that was years ago when i was on methotrexate with Humira .. the nausea only lasted a few weeks... and then after a couple of years it made my liver enzymes go up and the doc kept lowering the dose until it no longer prevented me developing antibodies to Humira and I had to stop taking Humira... switched to Enbrel - less prone for antibodies. But ultimately i couldn't tolerate the methotrexate due to increased liver enzymes. i really never missed it. there's a belief that the biologic and methotrexate are better together than either is alone. but if it was doing anything for me, i'm not sure what that was.

FYI I had improvement in less than a week after starting Humira - and I had a very hard acute onset, so was in misery. I hope the same for you!!

Prednisone surprises me. in my experience, I had a short term course of low dose prednisone until we settled on the permanent medication of Humira. You have to taper off of it because it's a steroid, but it's destructive to bones so you won't be on it long i'm sure. But your pain will go away for sure. .. and yes, it will spike your blood sugar.

I'm on a drug called Remicade - i get infusions in my doctor's office every six weeks. It's been a wonder drug for me.

I recommend you go to Amazon and search for real ginger teabags and peppermint tea bags. much of what you find in grocery and pharmacy is just flavoring - which is no help whatsoever. I prefer ginger for nausea but many folks prefer peppermint - get some of each - not very expensive.

Good luck and reach out anytime!
