Cannabis may help but I couldn't use it because it interacted with my blood pressure meds.

Humira and other biologics do help slow down progression. I used Humira with no issues for 1.5 years. Now using Simponi infusions to hopefully get better results, as the Humira wasn't working as well after carpal tunnel surgeries interrupted treatment. The medical Marijuana may help with pain but not slow progression. I would start one and see how you do before starting the other, because if you had side effects, you wouldn't know which was the culprit. Hope you find the right treatment for YOU!

I don't have any side effects from when I was on humira or enbrel. Everyone is different. Biologics will help slow if not put the disease in remission. Marijuana is just going to mask the disease not really do much for controlling the disease.

Humeira, I know nothing about, sorry can't help you with that Lisa.
I do use Medical Marijuana, I like the tincture oil you put under your tongue, helps with anxiety a lot. Trusting you find relief., Pam
