You are right mig, its not new news, my rheumy should have known. Maybe it was just a brain fart on his part.
But I should have investigated it myself too, well, at least there are people here to catch us when we are misinformed.
And like you said, it does make sense, as I knew people said when they missed a dose or doses of their biologic, due to infection, etc, that that was when it might stop working.
And what you said about the longer it works, the more likely it is to keep working: when I first started on the humira, I remembered reading that if one had an early positive response, the chances of having a long happy relationship with the drug were pretty good. That made me happy cause I felt the effects first day: came home to prep lunch and standing in the kitchen, my feet felt "lighter" as I told my husband. And the next day and the day after that, I couldn't believe the improvement in my bathroom experience…if you know what I mean
Anyway, thanks again! Doc and I will be having a little conversation next visit!
And so glad that you and remicade have had a long happy relationship!
