Humira is a wonderful drug! I gave my oldest daughter Humira injections for a few months for her psoriasis. It was the clearest we've ever really seen her skin, and she could tell the difference in her joints. (we just had her tested, and she doesn't have RA, but it still helped). What made me sad is that when she was on it, her immune system was awful. She was sickly all the time, and I decided to stop giving her the injections. Once we stopped the medication, the psoriasis and joint pain came back, but not with a vengence. I know that it'll help your RA, but just make sure to do everything you can to keep your immune system up. Good luck!
