| 4 | Severe Psoriatic & Rhuem Arthritis | Due to insurance issues (lack of) this is my second round of Humira. I am on it and Methotrexate after being on MTX alone. Side effects seem to be brain fog like that from Fibromyalgia. I have also had severe gasto issues from time to time even when taking Humira alone. When taking Humira it seems to make Psoriatic Blistering much worse for a few days after the injection. In time it will clear the blistering. I do not have issues with psoriatic plaques but assume it would benifit there as well. | I take it weekly and this round I am at about week #5. I have found that the pre loaded dose pack burns very bad. When I change it to a 1cc sub q needle it is easier to inject but still burns as it is just part of the medication. When on it before it helped with mobility after 8 - 12 weeks. I believe it would have helped with pain beyond that had I not lost insurance. Feel free to email. I am 33 and retired because of this disease with nothing much to do anyway. | M | 6 weeks | 3/19/2007 | 4 | ra | my right side aches constantly | M | 6 weeks | 6/28/2009 | 4 | Ulcerative colitis | Brain fog and lack of energy | Although I have increased the med to 1 dose per week, it still has not put me into complete remission. As a result, I am taking 15mg of prednisone..... perhaps this drug is adding to my feeling of low energy. | M | 13 months | 6/29/2009 | 4 | Psoriasis | I am extremely happy I am taking humira, my nephew had a big improvement with psoriadis. I hope it does the same for me.. | My dermatologist is awesome... | F | 1 days 40 mg | 12/3/2014 | 3 | Crohn's | NONE | M | 4 years 40 MG 1X W | 1/8/2013 | 3 | Severe Crohns | I am extremely tired, very low energy, headaches. The first 2 days after the injection are deadly im vomiting | I wonder what the long term side effects will be, anything like prednizone ? | F | 1 years 40 2X M | 8/27/2013 | 3 | Crohns disease | painful and burning sensation when injecting. very tired all the time. weight gain, a lot of weight. depression. anxiety. | I sometimes still have attacks while on Humira not to the point I need to be hospitalized but way worse than average cramps or belly ache and there is still blood in my stool. the Humira did okay with my crohns but not as good as it should for the price | F | 2 years 40 mg 2X M | 1/21/2016 | 2 | Ankylosing Spondylitis | 1 days | 5/29/2013 | 2 | Rhum. Arth | None | Does not work for me. | M | 1 years | 5/17/2006 | 2 | psoriatic arthritis | new positive ANA, new lupus, new vasculitis | I took Humira for 3 years. While sometimes difficult to inject, it was great for the arthritis sympotoms. I felt very well, strong, had reduced joint pain, and little psoriasis. I did have a bad infection that required hospitalization for nearly a week, but otherwise did very well. Then my ANA turned positive, I developed an itchy rash, then developed vasculitis, and finally the malar rash of SLE. I went off Humira. | F | 3 years | 8/2/2009 | 2 | crohns | muscle weakness, hard to walk | 12 weeks | 2/25/2009 | 1 | Crohns Disease | I have experienced Analphylaxis with both Humira and Remicade. It is the worst feeling you can imagine when you get shorness of breath and your tongue starts to swell along with your lips, face, etc. I have only taken Humira one time and the side effects of this drug is not worth the remission. I have lost tons of hair. Gained 15 lbs, have constant edema. This is all from the very first injection. When you get these side effects they do not go away for at least 2-3 months because of the half life of the meds. They reoccur every couple of days as the medicine is working through your tissues. It's making me go CRAZY! | The only thing that I can say positive about this medicine is that with one booster dose it put my crohns in remission. With that said, I now have anxiety attacks because of getting the reoccurring allergy attacks. Honestly this medicine might work for some people however I have been searching for answers and I all I have seen is extreme negativism for this drug. I would never reccommend this to anyone. | F | 1 days 40mg 1X O | 7/23/2015 | 1 | Dr. said | Well said reviewer on 12/3/2008. | | 5/2/2009 | 1 | I had severe ulcerative colitis | Hair loss and prolonged periods would last up to two weeks at a time this started immediately after I started it heavy extreme periods in would fill 3 tampons within hours to over flowing tmi sorry I definitely wouldn't recommend it to any female my uterus is a now a mess I was very unhappy night sweats it was like I was going into menopause at young age of 28 years old when started to this day my body is a mess still. | I think this drug should be banned from the market worse than predisone I say. | F | 1 years | 5/22/2016 | 2 | Severe Psoriasis | Severe injection pain and soreness after, memory loss. After 6 weeks a rash over entire torso and increase in plaque psoriasis everywhere. | After the first and second injections there was a major improvement in her psoriasis. She then got strep and had to miss two shots, after two more shots she got a virus and had to miss another shot. She has now had 4 more weekly shots and after the first shot in this set, she started a chickenpox like rash that developed into a psoriasis looking rash over her entire torso from chest to upper thigh. She never had psoriasis lesions in those areas before. Her psoriasis has also worsened everywhere else now. It was looking like the miracle cure for her at first, but it is not looking so great now, not sure we are going to be able to continue it. Anyone had similar symptoms? I'd love to know the outcome...please e-mail me! | F | 7 | 11 weeks | 1/10/2010 | 1 | Rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's | My son just started this Im really scared for him to get cancer or any other life side effects. like to have some advice on taking this medicine for my son | He was on Enbrel medicine for a year and got Crohn's disease from it | M | 8 | 30 days | 1/23/2020 | 3 | plaque psoriasis | Stop of menstrual cycle, facial hair growth, change in voice | Worked really wonderful for about the first year. Now noticing excessive facial hair growth. Bruises easy. Now plague psoriasis is back on knees and elbows. Scalp is worse now than before. First real side affect we noticed was the stopping of menstrual cycle, stopped after second injection never has started back. Just wondering if anyone else has had these same problems. My daughter is starting high school this year and we have stopped the Humira this summer to see if it helps. | F | 13 | 3 years 2X M | 7/4/2011 | 2 | Crohns | no appetite, dizziness, tired can always sleep for 12+ hours, sinus infection (may or may not be related) diarrea, mental fogginess, forgetful, easily makes bad decisions | F | 13 | 4 months | 1/12/2009 | 1 | Juvenile RA | Skin ulcer on knuckle and severe rash over 85% of body. | Got ulcer on knuckle that is larger than half dollar after 7 months of bi monthly injections. Then rash started. Have been to several doctors and no one can diagnose. Rheumatologist totally unhelpful. I am very concerned but not getting help from doctors!! | M | 13 | 16 days | 5/26/2018 | 3 | Crohn's | Had headache, nausea, stomach pain & diarrhea with crohn's but sice loading Humira dose headache & nausea much worse. Even rx anti-nausea med doesn't help | Too soon to tell about how Humira will effect crohn's but so far the headache & nausea are awful. Will they go away with time? Is it because the loading dose is high? Any feedback would be great. | M | 14 | 6 days Loading 1X O | 5/12/2010 |
HUMIRA (ADALIMUMAB): Adalimumab is used to reduce pain and swelling due to certain types of arthritis (such as rheumatoid, psoriatic, juvenile idiopathic, ankylosing spondylitis). This medication is also used to treat certain skin disorders (such as plaque-type psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa). It works by blocking a protein (tumor necrosis factor or TNF) found in the body's immune system that causes joint swelling and damage in arthritis as well as red scaly patches in psoriasis. Adalimumab belongs to a class of drugs known as TNF blockers. By reducing joint swelling, this medication helps to reduce further joint damage and preserve joint function. Adalimumab is also used to treat certain bowel conditions (Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis) and a certain eye disease (uveitis). (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
