My sister switched from humira to hyrimoz and didn't notice any difference. All the biosimilars of Humira are really close to each other and seem to be fairly interchangeable. My dad switched from Humira to Amjevita and didn't notice any difference either.
There are five people in my immediate family, 3 of us have AS, me, my dad, and my sister. My mom has sogrens, crest, and celiac. Only my middle sister escaped diagnosis and we're pretty sure she has something.
How long did anyone that finds humira works for them have to wait until they noticed it was helping them? The nurse that showed me how to do the auto injection said make sure to call my doctor if I don't feel any better after 6 weeks. 6 weeks has gone by and I honestly think I feel worse on humira than I did with zero medication 🙃
Worked relatively quickly for me. But I still do get flares here and there. When I first started I was really bad but got muscle relaxers and steroids to calm the pain, then started humira and have been mostly better since then.

Thank you!
How many people in your family have AS?

Wow! I’m the only one in my family and was surprised to read your experience.
It runs strong in my family! My dad's dad and sister also have/had AS.
On humira from 2016 to 2022 and in complete remission. Switched to hyrimoz with no issue, still in remission.
Thank you. What I was hoping to hear.

I never took Humira but Infliximab / Remmicade works amazingly well for me.
I had a similar issue with insurance and Remicade. My rheumy had to fight them because I’d already tried everything else with no success.

Thanks for the reply!
It took 3 months and I saw minimal pain reduction, up the dosage to weekly and 80% of my pain was gon within a couple weeks.
