I was diagnosed with PMR in 2024, for a year I was treated with prednisone and initially had good luck with relieving pain. After about a year, one morning I woke up and the pain never went away, went to a rheumatologist and then was diagnosed with RA. I’ve been receiving treatment with Humira and trying to taper the prednisone. I’m currently down to 7 mg a day, from a high of 20mg/day with occasional flareups. Now dealing with an insurance plan that won’t cover Humira all of a sudden and wants me to use a biosimilar drug. My doctor and I have identified several drugs that seem to be very similar to Humira, however we can’t get them approved through the insurance. Overall, a very difficult situation and difficult at times to keep a good attitude, especially when dealing with insurance companies that just deny, deny, deny.
