| 5 | Psoriatic Arthritis | Mild nausea and sleepiness right after injection, if done at night it is gone by morning. I had some hair loss but started taking folic acid daily which fixed that. Humira has really changed my life. Before taking Humira I was often unable to open doors or hold silverwear or even button my own pants, and now my hands work perfectly. I would put up with nearly any side effect for the amount of good it has done me! | F | 27 | 4 years 2x month | 3/27/2013 | 5 | R.A. | None that I can put down to Humira - I am 51 and a bit of hair loss or a few aches comes with age doesn't it | M | 51 | 2 years 40mg | 3/17/2013 | 5 | Ulcerative colitis | Fatigue. Cannot do much before resting. | It took 5 months before my ulcerative colitis went into remission. I am extremely happy to feel "normal" as my uc was severe and made my life miserable. | F | 56 | 8 months 40 mg 2X M | 1/8/2013 | 5 | PsA | Brief stinging as it is being injected. No worse than a flu shot. I am back to 95% of mobility with this drug. It has been a miricle drug for me. I am very careful with hand washing. I actually get sick less often. However if you get to feeling run down and start having symptoms of cold or such DO NOT wait to see if it will get better. It wont and by the time you feel sick you will be much sicker than you feel. Don't chance it and just go in. | F | 36 | 10 months 40 | 9/14/2012 | 5 | RA | None yet, I worry about about long term. | Humira has stopped the progression of my RA. | F | 45 | 8 years 40mg 2X M | 9/3/2012 | 5 | Crohn's | Itchy Scalp and some Muscle Cramping. I must be honest, I will take these side effects for now compared to the terrible pain I was in for so many years. Oh, and a bit of weight gain. | M | 38 | 2 years 50 MG 2X M | 8/30/2012 | 5 | Crohn's | slight weight gain, bruising at injection site, some tiredness | Great drug! costly but I've experienced very few symptoms while on this and it has pushed me into remission. Grateful. No swelling in joints, no sudden bathroom urges, eyes cleared up, etc | F | 49 | 10 months 30 1X O | 8/23/2012 | 5 | Crohns | Slight hair loss - I've grown my hair longer in case I need a combover down the track! Fatigue for two days after the shot - so I take it on a Friday night and have a quiet weekend. | It has taken quite some time to work - but it has put me in remission with very limited side effects. I was very worried about taking it - but I am delighted with the results so far. | F | 43 | 3 months 2X M | 7/7/2012 | 5 | ps | Very very bad headaches two days after shot. | 34 | 4 months 1 shot wkl | 6/16/2012 | 5 | RA | No noticeable side effects. | Before taking Humira I had extreme difficulty using my hands. Within a few weeks I had practically full mobility back in my hands and feet. I don't need any pain killers or anti-flammatories. I appreciate some people may not have had such a positive experience, but I certainly wouldn't like to have to go back. | M | 47 | 2 years 30MG 2X M | 6/12/2012 | 5 | crohns | None | Getting use to self injecting was difficult - I hate needles. Anyway, the drug has given me my life back and I have been able to work a full time job. Minor dull headache, but if you inject before bedtime, its not even noticed. | F | 45 | 14 months 40 2X M | 5/27/2012 | 5 | Psoriasis | Mild sinus infections | Very happy with drug so far. Psoriasis has been 100% clear since 5 weeks after start of treatment. Administration is easy and not painful. I have had severe psoriasis for 30 years, nothing else gave same remission as humira. Methotrexate stopped working after six months and side effects were more severe. | M | 47 | 16 months 40mg 2X M | 5/22/2012 | 5 | RA | I have none..... | I appreciate their helping with the co-pay! | M | 63 | 3 years 40 mg 2X M | 5/11/2012 | 5 | Chrohn's/iritis | Passed out the first time (4 shots in 1 hour was just too much). Slightly painful injections and lately slight fatigue. I was put on Humira because my Crohn's disease was causing a very resistant Iritis, other than that I had been fairly symptom free for 3 years. After the second injection my ophthalmologist saw very little inflammation in my eyes and after my fourth injection there was zero inflammation. I'm grateful for humira, but I'm hopefully I can go off it in 4 months because the potential side effects and some of the reviews on here scare me. | F | 36 | 2 months | 4/19/2012 | 5 | Psoriasis arthritis | Sore eyes only and sometimes tiredness | F | 31 | 2 years 40 mg | 3/29/2012 | 5 | Rheumatoid Arthritis | Swelling/redness/itching at the injection site for first 6 months only. | Been amazing for controlling my RA (had for 13.5 yrs). Taken in conjunction with methotrexate my Consultant now says I am in remission. Has given me back a great deal of independence. | F | 40 | 4 years 40mg injec 2X M | 3/2/2012 | 5 | Psoriasis and Psoriatic arthritis | No side effects | Totally cleared up psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis is under control with less joint swelling than any other medication | 56 | 3 years 40 mg 2X M | 2/14/2012 | 5 | Ankylosing Spondylitis | Injection site pain and bruising. Increased allergic reaction to chlorine. Persistent HPV causing cervical dysplasia. | Miracle drug. I had terrible joint pain, trouble sleeping, swollen ankles, difficultly walking especially down stairs, frequent iritis. Now able to run 2 hours at a time. No iritis flare-ups since start of treatment. Less fatigue. Hope it keeps working. | F | 28 | 5 months 40 2X M | 2/13/2012 | 5 | Psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis | M | 57 | 40 mg 1X D | 12/19/2011 History | 5 | Psoriasis and Psoriatic arthritis | None that I can directly attribute to Humira. | Long time psoriasis sufferer. Humira has been a miracle drug for me. I went from ~ 20% overall psoriasis coverage to less than 1%. It has eliminated the pitting and lifting of my nails. I have mild psoriatic arthritis, and the Humira has basically elimated the arthritic pain that I had before going on the drug. Have not experienced any side effects while on the drug. | M | 39 | 8 months 40mg 2X M | 12/14/2011 | 5 | Psoriatic Arthritis | Sometimes it takes me longer to bounce back from being sick. That's about it. I've seen so many discouraging postings about humira and it makes me sad for those people and those reading it because humira has changed my life! I live a completely normal and 99% pain free life now because of it. I definitely think it is worth trying and being open minded about. | F | 24 | 6 years 40 mg | 12/7/2011 | 5 | Rheumatoid arthritis | None | This has been a miracle drug for me,started working almost immediately after my first injection.I stopped taking methotrexate after a year and a half because I had a hard time with side effects and it was only partially effective.Fortunately for me my health insurance pays most of the cost (I only have a small co-pay) because it's very expensive! | M | 60 | 4 months 40 mg 2X M | 12/6/2011 History | 5 | Rheumatoid arthritis | None | F | 63 | 10 years 40 mg | 12/2/2011 | 5 | I have Ankylosing Spondylitis | Painful joints, struggled to walk. | I went from struggling to walk and pumping endless amounts of painkillers and anti-inflammatories to walking, running painfree, going to the gym 3 times a week to even playing competative rugby! Life changing experience for me. | M | 27 | 6 months 40ml 2X M | 10/18/2011 | 5 | RA and Ulcerative Colitis | I've been on Humira for about 9 months now and I LOVE it! I can't imagine living like I did before. After about 5 months of being on Humira my dry/itchy skin and the flaky scalp pretty much stopped. | F | 25 | 9 months 40mg 2X M | 9/21/2011 History | 5 | Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis | Very hard injection to take especially on legs, even with using ice beforehand.Short Term Memory seems to be disimproving,localised swelling on injection site, fatigued for a day or two after injecting. | Had psoriasis since I was 7, nearly 40 years now, went through every possible treatment, some good, some bad. Humira has completely cleared my psoriasis and pains are totally gone.This year I learned how to swim-imagine that-for me the psycholigical benefits far outweigh the possible adverse effects, it will probably kill me in the end but being clear of psoriasis after 40 years makes me feel "normal" and that is having a thremendous effect on my quality of life and even on my relationship with me wife.It is a matter of choice-take the chance and probably be free of psoriasis-or live life covered up..I know which one I prefer. | M | 47 | 16 months 40mg 2X M | 9/20/2011 | 5 | Rheumatoid Arthritis | None whatsoever | This drug helped my RA when nothing else did. I highly recommend it. I've not gotten sick more frequently either, keeping my fingers crossed there. | F | 54 | 6 months 1X W | 8/13/2011 | 5 | crohns | This medication worked wonders on my crohns I have been checked and all is better but scars are still their Now I do feel tired most of the time and get a good sleep at night So I take vitamin B 12 and that helps But after taking humira for 8 months I started to get arthritis type pains in my knees ankels wrists elbows shoulders and fingers I now take somthing that helps that but I have those pains weekly and doesn't go with the weather Now 1 year after taking this medication I have been having what seems to me to be is a gas bubble stuck in my throat type feeling Where my mouth makes more saliva almost like my body is trying to get something down and when I lay down to go to sleep it makes me throw up many time through out the night This lasts 3 days 2 nights I have not figured out y this is happening but seems to happen a day before or the day of my injection And can't eat solid food or I choke so only soups those days Not sure if this maybe | F | 31 | 18 months 80mg 1X M | 8/11/2011 | 5 | RA | Slight headache for short time 4 hours after dose, but could be unrelated. "miracle" drug is my case. Could not hardly walk before treatment. Back to normal life style with Humria | Thankful for med. just sorry to hear of the other folks problems. Hope my luck keeps up with treatment program. Before ready to give up living. Could not afford with assistance from Humria | M | 57 | 1.5 years 20 2X M | 7/27/2011 | 5 | Psoriasis | slight headache on and off, felt a bt nauseous at times, slight fatigue but Humira worked fast and cleared my skin in only 5 days....but then a few days before my second injection my psoriasis came back. I am thinking I may need to take it weekly instead of twice a month and will definately discuss with my doctor on my next appt. | So wonderful to have clear skin even though it was for only a few days :) Just took my second injection tonight....so we shall see what happens. | F | 42 | 3 weeks 40mg 2X M | 7/20/2011 | 5 | psoriatic arthritis | Zero side effects | I have arthritis in my foot, finger, wrist, mid spine, and sacroiliac joints. The pain completely went away in all but my sacroiliac joint which was the first to hurt. It has helped a lot with my sacroiliac joint, but I think some of the damage was permanent. It took my three years to figure out what was wrong and by then it was too late for the sacroiliac joints. It still has helped a lot though. | M | 36 | 17 months 30MG 2X M | 5/26/2011 | 5 | Ulcerative Colitis | I was very sleepy for the first 3 days after injections, for several months. After that though, no side effects. | This drug has been a life changer for me. I have what I now consider a normal gut. After years of pain, bleeding, diarhhea, and total food intolerance, I eat whatever I chose to, whenever I chose to. No bleeding, rarely pain. I live a normal life again. I got serum sickness from remicade-I was so afraid. But now my life is great. | F | 45 | 1 years 40mg 2X M | 4/28/2011 | 5 | Psoriatic Arthritis | The only problem I have had is neutropenia. My bloodcounts are monitored regularly and when the neutrophil count goes low I wait until it goes back up before I inject again. | Humira changed my life. I am 100% free of psoriasis, even my nails grow normally. Still have some joint swelling in my hands but nothing like before. | M | 40 | 5 years 40mg 2X M | 3/28/2011 | 5 | Psoriasis | no side effects! After maybe 2 shots in the past 7 months of taking them i got a hot rashno bigger that the size of a quarter around the injection site that clearned up after a few days. but NO PSORIASIS! | 18 year old, female. started 7 months ago because i suffered from severe psoriasis in my scalp for two years that started to take a large emotional toll on my life. I was very self conscious and used every topical cream out there. Also used a variety of oral pills that had not done the job or did not take well with my body and i had very bad side effects. Humira was my last option and after weighing its possible side effects i chose to take it. Best thing i had ever done. i was entering college, started two weeks before and i'd say about 4 weeks into college i literally completely forgot i had even had psoriasis. I have no scaling, or peeling, or itchy. I wear black again. All i have to do it take one shot every two weeks. It worked for me when i thought there was no hope, please dont give up! | F | 18 | 7 months 2X M | 3/16/2011 | 5 | Psoriasis | Increased infections (during first few months of taking drug). No other adverse side effects since then. Mild acne developed (but nothing compared to psoriasis!) | I was 80% covered in P and I am now totally clear and living a radically different and better life. I haven't had any side effects in nearly 8 months. Don't let the bad reviews freak you out. | F | 21 | 1 years 2X M | 11/29/2010 | 5 | Crohns Disease | I had severe crohns, and some pills helped, but were a hastle taking 9 pills a day and sometimes coming back to haunt me. I was put on Humira and the doctor has taken 3 colonoscopies since, and said that my insides loook brand new. He said it has really, really cleared me up. I have no problems now except for beinf tired all the time,insomnia,weight gain badly,skin blemishes and an awful immune system. But what is worse??? Crohns or a few little problems that can be handled? | F | 50 | 250 days 1xbiweekly 1X O | 10/30/2010 | 5 | spondylitis | The injection really stings, and for the first six months I had a pretty large site reaction to the injection that lasted several days (the area would be hot, red, swollen). Now the reaction is much less as my body has gotten used to it. I also get sick (bronchitis, sinus infections) very frequently. | Humira took a full 3 months of use for me before I got relief. Although, now, I feel incredible. I am running again, and experience no pain. I have needed to be hypervigilant about getting to the doctor as soon as I start to get sick because viruses just take right off into infections within a day or two. | F | 34 | 11 months 40mg 2X M | 10/19/2010 | 5 | Crohn's | Occasional sore throat and general feeling as if I'm starting to get a cold, but this usually only lasts a day or two and no cold develops. Bruise more easily. Some injection site pain after injection, but ice and Tylenol help and its nothing unbearable (completely worth it for results and not having to take tons of pills each day). Bloated feeling the day after injection. | Amazing treatment! It took me a long time to get comfortable with the idea of taking a biologic, but the results have been amazing. I feel better than I have felt in over 10 years and my symptoms are finally under control (had NO relief/results with prednisone, Asacol, Pentasa...). I began to see/feel results within 5 days of the initial dose (4 injections) and have gotten increasingly better ever since. I am not 100% better after 5 months, but I would say 85%, which is amazing to me. I finally see a light at the end of the tunnel and have started to think that maybe I won't be sick forever. Benefits FAR outweigh any minor side effect annoyances I have had. Every time I go on a trip I am so amazed and grateful that I don't have to haul along an extra bag for all my meds! Its a serious drug, so do your own research before you decide to go on it, but my experience has been very positive. | F | 32 | 5 months 40mg 2X M | 10/13/2010 | 5 | Plaque Psoriasis | Absolutely None | Ive had moderate to severe Plaque Psoriasis for just over 7 years now, after 4 years of different teatments including UV, Oral and topical, nothing was working, nothing would even put a dent in the plaques, finally my dermatologist suggested Humira, afer weighing the pro's and con's I decided to give it a try and boy am I glad, Humira has given me a new lease on life, I recently moved and needed a new prescription for it, afraid of the plaques returning, I was frantically trying to get in to see a new doctor for the prescription (like a crackhead looking for a fix) That is the only concern I have, is that when you stop taking the injections, the plaques return.. Have been plaque free for 3 years and it has indeed changed my life. no more long sleeve shirts and pants in summertime!! If you have any questions about this drug, feel free to email me, I will naswer anything I can.. | M | 30 | 3 years 40mg 2X M | 10/10/2010 | 5 | Psoriatic Arthritis | Injection itself extremely painful, and causes worse than usual sickness when alcohol is drunk. Lately experiencing mood swings although not 100% whether this is the humira or not. Otherwise the benefit greatly outweighs any side effects, I would definitely recommend it to those suffering from extremely bad arthritis. | F | 21 | 3 years 40mg 2X M | 9/30/2010 | 5 | Ulcerative colitis | I had an infected mosquito bite. Turned into a real skin infection not really that bad but lasted 2 months. I am SUPER tired for 3-5 days after my injection. | I have a life again. I can eat. I don't worry about what or where or if Im gonna have to have a BM. I cant even remember the last time I had pain. Which was a daily thing for years. I gained 35 lbs! I did remicade and had serum sickness. As I told my GI doc- yeah I only poop once a day- but I can't walk! Remicade didn't work nearly as well. So glad I got a reaction. I LOVE Humira. Hate to think that I will have to requalify every year (per my current insurance). Hate to think that I might flare again someday. This is the first respite I have had from my disease. | F | 44 | 3 months 40 mg 2X M | 9/26/2010 | 5 | plaque psoriasis | Some hair loss, 15lbs. weight gain | My head was covered in psoriasis. It covered approx. 30% of my body. It has cleared me 99%. I dont like to inject my legs as they are very sore for a couple of days and I walk alot. But for the most part.. I have done extremely well on this drug. Aside from the weight gain, I am very happy with my results. As another poster stated, not every drug is for everyone. It took me 4 years and many many many drugs to agree to inject myself. I am glad I made the decision to try it. | F | 42 | 2 years 40 MG 2X M | 9/18/2010 | 5 | psoriatic arthritis | Pain and swelling after injection. I have bruised badly in injection site. Painful to inject. Lower back tingles sometimes, not sure if it is related. No other issues. | Before using Humira I could barely walk. I had poor quality of life for about four months due to the pain from arthritis in my left foot and neck. I developed psoriasis when I was nine on my scalp. When I was 22 I noticed my psoriasis was worsening, spreading to other areas, and I had foot and neck pain. The pain from the arthritis became so severe I don't know how I got out of bed everyday. I thought I was going to become disabled. It took 11 months to get diagnosed with PA. Since taking this medicine I do not have any symptoms of psoriasis or arthritis!!! No pain, no itchy scalp! The injections are difficult for me. I can not do it myself, I tried once and injected the air. It is painful for me as well. It is all very worth it for my results. I have had no illnesses. I did get a flu shot and swine flu shot, as it was recommended for people that take this med. This started to work the next day after taking! Within the first month I was 80% better...now at 100%. | F | 24 | 1 years 2X M | 8/12/2010 | 5 | Psoriasis | None | A remarkable drug. All signs of scaling and patches are gone. Nothing else worked A miracle result. | M | 48 | 18 months 40mg 2X M | 8/8/2010 | 5 | Fistulizing Crohns | I have no side affects not even a swelling on the injection site, i feel very lucky, having read many of the other comments about humira and how it makes others feel. | What i would recommend is not to inject into the leg it hurts like hell but into the stomach, the drug can be left out of the fridge for 15 minutes, wait the 15 mins before injecting it is far less painful. My crohns is in complete remission but there is no signs of the fistulas healing yet. I am forever the optimist. Does anyone else have Fistulizing crohns and has your fistula healed. I have had mine now for 4 years. | F | 36 | 5 months 40mg 1X O | 8/6/2010 | 5 | Anylosing Spondilitis and Chrone'si | Pain at injection site, headaches after taking drug that then dissipate in 24 hours, fatigue, repeated sinus infections | This drug along with remicade have been the only things to have worked for me after years of prednisone, imuran, methotrexate, NSAIDs etc | M | 43 | 6 years 2X M | 7/17/2010 | 5 | Ankylosing Spondylitis | Fungal infection on back and increased feeling of tirednedd and fatigue | Suffered from sacroilliac pain for 10 years and no medication gave me relief. Started Humira once per fortnight and got instant relief and have had no pain since. No side effects other than fungal infection on back and increased feeling of tiredness. I feel so greatful that I have quality of life back , I feel like a new person. I am a little concerned of life threatening and long term side effects after many hours of reading, especially the lawsuit sites. Lets all keep our fingers crossed we stay healthy ! | F | 36 | 6 months 2X M | 7/15/2010 | 5 | rheumatoid arthritis | Slow wound healing, frequent upper respitory infections. | Love it! I just wish the needles were smaller. Tried the pen kit, but I was too scared to continue to use it. Noticed wounds are slow to heal, I have always had frequent upper respitory infections, but have them more frequently. The drug isn't very strong, so am taking 6 mg of prednisone to be able to function with arthritis. Started Humira after Enbrel stopped working. I would recommend this drug. | F | 43 | 3 years 40 mcg 2X M | 6/30/2010 | 5 | RA | So far, so good | Took 1st injection last night. Woke up TOTALLY pain free this AM, feel great so far, not quite as hungry as usual, have much more energy and mental clarity. (Am hoping for the so-called negative "loss of body fat" side effect too.) I will return with an update next month. | F | 52 | 1 days 40 2X M | 5/19/2010 | 5 | crohns | Tired the next morning after injection. Sometimes injection site is red,bruised and itchy.noticed a few red patches on dry skin on my back. | I've had crohns for 2 1/2 yrs. Have used prednisone and pentasa. Steriods help me bounce back and was feeling better when I went on humira. I have had no crohns symptoms since. Working great for me but these other reviews are frightening and I feel a bit lucky. Hoping humira is not too good to be true... | F | 28 | 4 months 2X M | 5/6/2010 | 5 | psoriasis | Small cuts (hang nails, nicks) don't heal - I have had some for months now. No other notable side effects. I also have IBS and have not noticed any changes (worsening or otherwise) in my symptoms. No side effects after injections, not even site reaction. | I am 100% CLEAR from psoriasis and have been after about a month and a half of taking Humira. This has changed my life and improved my quality of life ten fold. I have has psoriasis since I was about 9 - over 10 years now. For the first time since I was a child I can wear tshirts, bathing suits, dresses, and not think about my P every hour of everyday. I had P on arms, legs, torso, and scalp. The injections suck and they do hurt more than the average needle. But the pain is nothing compared to what pain from P was. I prefer the prefilled syringe as I had problems with the autoinjector pen injecting prematurely (user error - I couldn't hold it into my skin firmly enough due to nerves and it injected twice into the air - 2 wasted needles!). I inject in upper legs. | F | 20 | 4 months 2X M | 5/3/2010 | 5 | Crohn's | Pain, redness, swelling and bruising at the injection site. Bloating and increased appetite. Injection is painful especially in legs. | Has helped me tremendously. Still want to stop the drug | F | 34 | 10 months 40mg 2X M | 4/9/2010 | 5 | Psoriatic Arthritis and Psoriasis | Fatigue, nausea, acute pain in arthritic joints, loss of weight, loss of appetite | Only drug that i have ever taken that has completey cleared me of of my psoriasis and made me virtually arthritis free. Life changing | M | 36 | 2 years 2X M | 4/7/2010 | 5 | CROHN'S | This is a follow-up to my 10/27/07, 02/25/08 & 02/05/08 postings. I’ve taken Humira since late 2007. One shot every 15-18 days. Taking the shot just before bedtime is how I deal with the occasional headache following the shot. However, the headache is not nearly as severe as in the beginning . . . no big deal really. | I had a difficult time recovering from the Flu in 08 . . . ended up with bronchitis. This is the first drug that has worked for me other than prednisone. . . I had catastrophic reactions to Sulfasalazine, Asacol, Dipentum and Imuran before finding Humira. I’m free of all Crohn’s symptoms. | M | 51 | 3 years 1X O | 4/1/2010 | 5 | Ankylosing Spondylitis | injection site burning, rash, and occasional itchy "bug" bites. I have gained weight and having a hard time getting it off. I've had two gum infections, and my psoriasis on my finger still comes and goes. | I also have been experiencing shortness of breath when I'm going uphill. It could be because I could not walk uphill so quickly before. I'll be visiting my Dr. to make sure its not related to the heart failure side effect. Overall Humira has helped greatly! My pain and inflammation has gone from a 10 down to a 1.5 | F | 32 | 6 months 40MG 2X M | 3/26/2010 | 5 | Psoratic Arthritis | Slight pins and numbness in my toes, easy bruising. | I am so grateful for this drug. Previous to taking humira I had no quality of life, between suffering the arthitis and the psorasis to over 80% of my body, not to mention the depression looking like a freak and having no energy or strength to live life. I am worried that in the future I may not be able to take this drug if I develop side effects, but fingers crossed none as yet. It has given me my life back after 15 years. | F | 36 | 18 months 40mg 2X M | 3/11/2010 | 5 | crohns | worked like a mircle at first. After about 3 months I felt like I needed a booster dose, like my base line had fallen. | F | 47 | 8 months 40 mg 2X M | 2/7/2010 | 5 | Psoraisis sometimes Severe | Redness at site and teeth pain | This has cleared me up 80 % and I have never had results like this. After having my kid my skin broke out everywhere! I have a spot on my leg that has never gone away and we have tried everything and now its almost gone! The side effects sound scary but so far so good! I have a whole new body and a whole new confidence but all drugs effect people in different ways! | F | 25 | 3 months | 1/29/2010 | 5 | Psorisasis | None that I can discern. Have taken about 10 subcutaneous injections so far without any obvious side effects. | I'm a 60 y.o. male and the Psoriasis came out of nowhere. No family history of it. I had been taking Atenolol, a beta blocker, for about 5 years prior to the Psoriasis and there appears to be a possible "link" between Psoriasis and Atenolol. I just changed to another beta blocker (Toprol-XL) and we'll see if that makes a difference. The Humira is working very well. Most of the plaque is gone and the original spots are now just faded pink. My dermatologist says these should continue to clear. So far, so good. | M | 60 | 100 days | 1/7/2010 | 5 | Crohns, Ankylosing Spondylitis, RA | Pain/redness at injection site (pain lasts just a couple min - redness no longer than 24hrs) also I started to have teeth problems a few months after taking humira. Have had molars break and crumble and I recently had started getting cavaties(I am a person who has never had any cavities growing up etc) Dentist and oral surgeon said its more likely due to Crohns than meds so not sure if its really related to Humira or not. | I have been on all sorts of different "cocktails of meds" at one point was taking 36 pills daily. Admittedly I am horrible at taking daily medications so this was even better with only having to take it every 2 weeks. I have had multiple bowel resections, appendix and gallbladder removed as well due to Crohns. When I developed the ankylosing spondilytis and the RA I was litterally bed bound it was extreme pain to move and do anything. Sleeping was horrible as well due to pain in my spine. I remember laying in the bath tub multiple times a day for months in super hot water just to get some relief to be able to move about. Since taking the humira my quality of life has improved so much that if I could not take it I really do not know what I would Even if tooth loss is a genuine side effect of the humira - I would still take it - I would just know my dentist alot more than I already do lol. My only real big complaint is the cost. Without insurance it costs $4,000 for a months supply for me (2 injections), thankfully I have insurance so I don't have that huge of out of pocket expense but its still pretty hefty. | F | 31 | 3 years | 1/5/2010 |
