    I was in remission (colitis) for years on humira then my insurance switched me to amjevita. I got so sick, even when we doubled the amjevita. Practically housebound by the 6th month. After 8 months I was able to switch to a different insurance who put me back on humira and I’m finally starting to feel better. That’s just my story. The Humira equivalent might work for others but it doesn’t work for everyone.

      Well theyre giving me yuflima by sandoz. I have ankylosing spondilitis...it did ease my symptoms but only for 4 days and i take one pen evey 2 weeks. I hope the doctor lets me do 1 pen weekly. She has to ask for permission and im waiting for it. Wow youve been through a lot. Take care

    Here n New Zealand, Humira is $1599 per injection, Amjevita, $199. (NZD)
    That's $999 & $124 USD.

      I take yuflima from sandoz lab. In Portugal we dont pay for the pens. The hospital gives them to the patients...amgevita also exists here but also free funded by our national health system

      Interesting, the prices I quoted are also covered by our health system but that's what the NZ Govt pays for them. @@etcwhatever

      @etcwhatever I'm more than willing to pay more taxes to have universal healthcare or even affordable healthcare in the USA. I'd be paying way less than the cost of insurance + copays. I pay for a premium insurance plan, but I still can not afford to go to the doctor sometimes or afford to get my meds from the pharmacy. Healthcare makes zero sense here 😒

    FYI - I received a letter today, 2-28-2024, from the Veteran's Administration advising me that they are switching me from Humira to Hadlima.

      How are you feeling? Does it work as good as humira or not. I wonder for how many days does the med work. Because i never was given humira. The pens i take arent doing much beyond 4 days

    My insurance switched me from Humira to Hyrimoz. Time will tell, if it's truly similar... I'm nervous as heck, to be honest. That's why I'm in youtube doing research! It's always just about money, when it comes to insurance and what they cover.

      Hi @mimsydreams, how is Hyrimoz working for you? Thank you.

    Playing with peoples lives is ethically immoral!
    Health Insurance is almost unaffordable for must of us.
    I just got a bill for Humira $1.700.
    How can someone poor as I am can afford it?

    Not gonna comment on the substance of his remarks other than to say he’s to be commended for actually pronouncing the name of this drug in a way that comports with its spelling. Hew-MAIR-uh is what the commercials try to push, prolly because some ad exec thought going with a legit short or long-voweled “i” wld sound inelegant.
