Humira is sort of helping

I do wonder about the sun sensitivity. It got really bad after starting humira (it burns in like, a few minutes).

I will definitely look into another opinion. I actually got one a few months ago... The fellow/resident (not sure which) didn't believe in seronegative ra and didn't see swelling so she said it was just fibro (?) The doc overseeing the clinic disagreed and it was awkward. I guess I just need to tough it out with this doc since she believes me that it's ra or something similar. My worst fear is that it'll get worse like it did for my mom and I'll end up with psoriatic arthritis and ulcerative colitis and other fun stuff. She was ignored when she was younger and told she was hysterical etc and ended up immobile and incontinent and pooping blood. If someone believes me that it's not psychosomatic entirely, I can prevent a horrible degredation.

I wish that docs had taken me seriously before instead of just telling me it's estrogen or to lose weight or depression or go to yoga. Those are legit things to say obviously but not going to fix it if it's ra.
