I am currently taking Humira injections for RA and have been for about 8 months. I have gotten great results. I have absolutely no pain, and no swelling. But, the last couple months I noticed more tiredness and fatigue. I'm not going to see my Rheumatologist for another month, but am wondering if anyone has experience increase fatigue/tiredness after awhile? Is it probably a flare. I had been doing so well for so long, that I can't remember what a flare was. I know....I shouldn't be complaining. I feel like I am so greedy since Humira has given me most of my life back, that now I want it ALL. My other question is has anyone heard of getting B12(I think is the name) injections for tiredness?

I recently went for my annual exam with my MD this last week and she is ordering blood work for thyroid. I really think it belongs with the RA though. I just hope my body isn't going to start rejecting the Humira. Confused

Thanks,
Sweetpea

I am getting b12 shots. I get my second of 8 tomorrow. My body had almost no b12 in it. The doctor did say one of the symptoms of low b12 was fatigue.
