Time for a change

Yesterday Jacob had an appointment with Dr. Foster, for the follow-up of his uveitis flare.
His eyes did look better yesterday because of the steroid drops, but we knew this was going to happen. The drops put out the fire. The problem is he cannot stay on steroid drops forever. Most vision loss with uveitis is from the overuse of the drops. They should only be used temporarily until the systemic med can maintain the remission ALONE. I knew going in to the appointment that this was probably going to be it for Humira. He had trace cells prior to restarting the med, in October. He restarted the Humira in November and the flare has only progressed. Dr. Foster has advised us that, in his opinion, the best thing to do right now is to put him on Remicade and add back in Methotrexate.
Jacob will start Remicade on February 1st. I'm hoping to start the Methotrexate this Friday.
Infusions are a new road for us. Jacob is not very happy about to change the med. He would prefer to stay on Humira.
