Maura's Illuminated Manuscript

Well, since she was dignosed with rheumatoid arthritis in October of 2002, probably the best time she had was just after she got on Humira (adalimumab) in late 2003. The trouble was, Humira stopped working, probably because she developed antibodies to it. Her RA has never been completely under control the way it is with most patients most of the time these days. Ten hours of sleep a day and thirty waking hours a week on the couch has been the norm pretty much since she came down with it.
