Hey guys.

 I am still in the losing phase of my WL journey but recently my Dr wrote me a script for humira for my joint pain due to psoriatic arthritis. My question is.. anyone using it? Does it cause your weight loss to slow or make you gain weight? Anyone tell me of your experiences?

humira did not affect my weight loss in any way, although unexplained weight loss is a known side effect, it also did nothing for my psoriatic arthritis.  I am going to start simponi next week, since the enbrel has totaly stopped working for me,

I have been successful with Enbrel for my PA for the past 5 years, and it doesn't effect my weight loss in any way. 

Best of luck to you!
