Does ra factor play into how long it will take humira (adalimumab) to work? my ra factor is 600. and i just had my 2nd dose. hoping it kicks in soon.

Depends: RF is a good indicator as far as severity of the disease but it does not specifically effect the humira (adalimumab). It is a marker that will likely be followed after Humira (adalimumab) is started and the decrease of it can certainly parallel with improved symptoms

No: We don't have a good way yet to identify who will respond. You have sero-positive RA. Your chances o fresponding are still very good - so stick with it and discuss this with your rheumatologist.
