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)

 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

 4  crohns i am newly on humira. ive had just about every other medicine out there for crohns but kept getting abcesses so my doctor finally decided to put me on humira. i found out i had crohns in 2009 and in 2010 i was in the hospital over 5 times and the last time i almost died. i had 18 inches of terminal intestines and a fistula growing into my bladder. doctors removed the 18 inches and i healed (miraculously so due to docs didnt think i would so easily). i have a scar on my abdomen that looks like they just gutted an animal but i was better for @ 2yrs. thats when the abcesses started coming back so here i am! this humira medicine stings so bad but i was told to sit it out @ 30 minutes prior to injection and then to place a bag of frozen peas/corn on the site before injection to help numb the area. i havent tried that yet but will on my nxt time! nausea, mood swings, fatigue, & on occasion loss of appetite. someone told me to try marijuana for these side affects but i was worri please if anyone does relate or has an opinion on my case please contact me!

Patient History
 1  RA nausea, headaches, fatigue All drugs are poisoness, RA it turns out is easily cured with apple cidar vinegar which you won't hear from a doctor, the cover up is massive since the 1950's and the drug companies own the news with their advertising budgets and the politicians with their contributions, the internet has saved me. But space is short so you can e-mail any queries. M 57 1 weeks

 2  Crohn's First 2 months just tired and headaches for 2 days. Then muscle pain started after each injection. Last injection put me in bed for 3 days in extreme all body muscle pain, foggy thinking, sweating and got dehydrated. Almost 3 weeks later and still have muscle pain in left upper arm and right calf. I took Remicaid for 10 yrs. before that. I am NOT taking Humira again. Waiting for GI to get back from his vacation to find out what next. Not for me. F 52 9 months

 3  crohn's I have the worst joint pain you can think of. It changes locations in my body everyday. My joint pain seems to get worse at night once I have stopped moving. The muscles in my head also hurt and sometimes swell. My throat muscles hurt mostly at night. My blood work came back postive for lupus but I believe this is all caused from the drug. Does anyone have anything like this? I have stoped the medication four weeks ago and have seen no improvment yet. F 30 18 months

 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
