BIOLOGICAL THERAPY (11)

remained inject Humira every 15 days. improvement of joint symptoms had reached the maximum. At last I could make a relatively normal life, within the obvious limitations resulting from stagnation.

I was with that standard biological management until the trouble began. According to the specialist, there might be cases of failure due to biological body gets to detect a foreign substance, then act out the immune system loses its therapeutic power.

Humira

I was effective for a period of 2 years and a half. After that time, the pains began to manifest, were increasing in intensity as in areas, had to pull back strong legs to walk, raising his arms above the chest was an ordeal. Greatly feared an outbreak is triggered, for me, and obviously I guess for all those affected by ankylosing spondylitis, is not only being with many pains during an outbreak, what is really worrying is that every time you have this outbreak, the disease (at least in my case) takes a leap forward, and then increases significantly joint damage in one or more areas, perhaps not previously damaged, and damaged joints deteriorate more quickly.

On a personal situation (which is beside the point) I had to leave my village, even change of autonomy: I was born and have always lived in Extremadura, in a village called Navalvillar Pella, in the province of Badajoz. Now I had to go live in the autonomous community of Andalusia in the province of Cordoba.

This change of address gave me a certain disorder. All my medical history was in Badajoz (Cormarcal Hospital Don Benito-Villanueva), that meant starting from scratch, new analytical, new films, new rheumatologists ... I settled on

Pozoblanco (Córdoba), the doctor referred me to the Hospital Reina Sofía de Córdoba. In the hospital started me everything to my new medical history. When I arrived in Cordoba and had the bug get from Humira. With the increase of the symptoms of spondylitis, and suspected that my body could be producing antibodies against monoclonal antibody Humira, chose to prescribe other biologically, in this case Enbrel (Etanercept). worth noting that when a person I could not take Methotrexate (my sick body), and since concomitant administration of Humira and Methotrexate greatly minimizes biological failure, forced me to this change in medication.
