More on HUMIRA: Reviews Summary | Drug Safety Information
| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR HUMIRA | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 2 | Reactive Arthritis and UC | Severe fatigue, depression, anxiety, impaired memory and cognitive ability, increase in already terrible hand and wrist pain, headaches, widespread itching, general feeling of being unwell. | My rheumatologist had told me Humira had helped his other patients so much, and I was desperate for relief, so I tried it. Sadly, I have felt much worse since beginning treatment. My husband told me he definitely notices the negative changes, and he is very concerned because I am always exhausted and in pain far more than I was prior to taking Humira. I am happy for those Humira helps, and I had wished I could be one of them, but that is not the case. I hope someone will discover another option for people like me. One that is safer, has less side effects, and will provide permanent relief. | F | 44 | 5 weeks 40 2X M | 7/11/2016 | 1 | Psoriatic Arthritis | Caused my arthritis to worsen (it now affects all my joints. Before it was only my knees and occasionally ankles). Severe muscle weakness and pain (so much so that it is a struggle to take my own shirt off, for example). Esophageal spasms that make it difficult to eat and are quite painful. Pustular psoriasis. I had never had any of these problems before humira, and I truly believe humira caused them. | Wouldn't chance taking this drug. Wish I'd known the horrors it would could cause beforehand because I never would've taken it. I am now way worse than I ever was. | F | 30 | 4 months 40 mg | 7/7/2016 | 5 | Crohns disease | Initial injection site pain and redness. Fatigue. | I take one shot a week. It's put my Crohns in remission. I do have increased fatigue, but it's a small price to pay for not having active Crohns. The injection is VERY painful. | F | 33 | 4 years .8 mL | 7/6/2016 | 4 | Psoriasis | Diagnosed with fungal (thrust/yeast) infection in my throat and mouth. Now a cough. Going to go on a candida friendly diet and limit sugar as this feeds yeast. If you are not in balance when the immune system goes down the bad stuff has a party! A little scared I can't get it under control. Hard to swallow and very uncomfortable! | Helping the psoriasis big time! | F | 42 | 1 months | 7/6/2016 | 3 | Severe chronic ulcerative colitis/ | I would get the occasional headache and get very itchy at injection site. Now I have sores in my mouth and the sides of my mouth are cracked and won't heal.. 7 months already.. Reg Dr said it was a fungus. I have a clear discharge from my nipples thought I had cancer went through a crap load of tests was told it was nothing. A year later still happening.. severe leg cramps to where it wakes me up at night, to the point of me crying.. Brain fog, moodiness, crabby,now I have hives and I'm itchy from head to toe. Thought I was allergic to my soap and deodorant.. hair loss. Weight gain.always tired. Nose bleeds at least once a week.. sores in my nose.. constantly feeling like I have phlem in back of throat.. difficulty swallowing ( feels like I'm trying to swallow a golf ball) severe dry eyes.. Addressed some of these symptoms to my GI Dr before and my regular Dr. And not once did they say it could be the Humira. | I was on Remicade for about 6 years after I had my first bout with Pyroderma Gangrenosum which is caused by the Ulcerative colitis. They took me off of that due to they were afraid that it would stop working. They put me on Humira. Wasn't having too many issues at first. Now it seems I have the whole damn list of problems. Stopped taking it.. hope all these new issues go away fast and the pyroderma doesn't come back | F | 43 | 3 years 40 mg / 2x | 6/14/2016 | 5 | RA | I really never experienced any side effects other than fatigue, which is expected with RA. | I have been on Humira 40 mg. for about 6 years. This is a Wonder Drug! I don't have any joint pain like I did when I was first diagnosed. I realize some people have developed certain cancers, but no one knows if it was already occurring before they took Humira. I will stay on Humira the rest of my life if Medicare decides to help with payment! Humira is a life changing drug!! | F | 66 | 6 years 40mg | 6/9/2016 | 2 | Crohns | Had colitis, crohns for 17 years with minimal issues, on humira for 9 months now and now pending surgery and severe arthritis issues. Rx now 4x month to control arthritis. | M | 40 | 9 months 2x now 4x | 6/2/2016 | 2 | Ulcerated Colitus | Fatigue and a 30 pound weight gain- | I am concerned of the long term side effects- My gastroenterology insist that the weight gain and fatigue is not a side effect from the Humira | F | 53 | 2 years 40MG 2X M | 5/27/2016 | 5 | Ulcerative Colitis | Just a liitle fatigue the day after injection | Mercaptupoline (6 MP) almost killed me. Put me in the hospital with a red blood cell count of 4.3 (normal about 17) making numerous transpusions necessary. I was almost out of options for a very stubborn case of U.C. when my Doctor prescribed Humira. What a miracle! I have been taking Humira bi-weekly for a little over two years and my symptoms improved dramatically! In fact, after my most recent colonoscopy, I wsa declared in remission. My quality of life is back to where it was before my diagnoses! I know there are certain risks and sideffects to every drug, but I had very few options left other than the dreaded "S" word (Surgery!!) Thank you Doctor, and Thank you Humira for giving me my life back! | M | 55 | 40 1X O | 5/26/2016 | 5 | Ankylosis Spondylitis, Crohns | Very happy. Weakness for first 3 months then no side effects. | Best results for Spondylitis. Not so much for Crohns. Had 3 hospital stays for Crohns. | M | 66 | 10 years 40 mg | 5/25/2016 | 3 | Ulcerative Colitis and Spondylitis | Small red bald spot in my hair. My hair just slid out my hair about 2 weeks ago and no new growth has started. Also I have Weird disturbing dreams the first few nights after the shot. | I don't know how much the Humira is helping. I still have blood in my stool every bm. If I eat normal portions of food or most foods no matter how little I get pain in the side. At the moment I am only eating jar fruit ( the kind in the fruit juice ) and eggs. I can't seem to tolerate any form of starch ie bananas, raw veggies, most veggies even if cooked, dairy is a big no, white sugar, heavy fats, tap and some spring water (distilled, reverse Osmosis and other flat waters seem fine). I can handle bone broth and veggies juice from my juicer that does a good job removing fiber. But I don't have time to juice. I see my G.I. tomorrow to discuss this. I don't have diarrhea so perhaps the Humira has fixed that. I don't have a lot of blood in stool like before so perhaps it is helping. I think it is. I wish I could eat more food and I wish I didn't have this bald spot in my scalp. I don't think it helps with my AS or Uveitis at all so far. I will up date this (Lord willing) next month. I started Humira February 25, 2016 and today is May 25, 2016. I do not take any other medication. | F | 41 | 3 months | 5/25/2016 | 1 | rheumatoid arthritis | severe increased joint pain all over, pins and needles in arm and feet, sleeping difficulty's-bad dreams,difficult to concentrate on anything | M | 50 | 6 weeks 40 2X M | 5/22/2016 | 1 | rheumatoid arthritis | severe increased joint pain all over, pins and needles in arm and feet, sleeping difficulty's-bad dreams, difficult to concentrate on anything | M | 50 | 6 weeks 40 2X M | 5/22/2016 | 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 | 5 | Phorises | Itching on my arms top of my feet,my thigh,and my head.comes and goes. It isn't constantly. | F | 62 | 6 weeks 40mg | 5/21/2016 | 4 | Crohns | nothing major. A little lightheaded and anxious. 6mp gave me high fevers. I had one resection of illeum, before my first Humira treatments. | Was on it for 1 and 1/2 years and it stopped working. Was put on Remicade which was terrific but would not last a full 4 weeks due to my antibodies attacking the medication. Doctor put me back on Humira starter pack and so far it seems to be working but again for how long. A friend with RA contracted lymphoma from Humira.but thankfully recovered. | 72 | 1 months 40mg | 5/20/2016 | 5 | Psoriasis | Hard to tell if I really experienced any side effects. One thing I noticed is that I had to start taking allergy pills and high blood pressure medicine shortly after I started the Humira. But, none of them can be directly related to the usage of Humira. | Humira is actually my second stint of a 99% cured psoriasis. I used Enbrel for 2 years until the insurance denied it. Then I was put on Humira and up until recently was 99% free. Now I have about 50 spots of red all over (100% sure it's psoraisis. I am going to contact my dermatologist. Just wanted to put this out there. | M | 50 | 4 years 40mg 2X M | 5/16/2016 | 5 | Chronz.n I have ms | Due to needing help I Praise My Doctor ..Abassi/Ambassador/N I am doing better having difficulty breathing..
