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)

 1  Psoriatic Auth . Fever, Chills, EXTREM headache that affected my eyes and hearing, server body ache, vomiting and diarrhea, abdomen pain, sinus infection, unable to focus, chest pains to the right side, ok what’s left?? I was doing fine with the medication until after the 3 does; I became so sick that I thought I was going to end up in the hospital. My Rh Doctors was unavailable to see me so I went to my primary doctor; he gave me 3 different medications to offset the side effects to this drug. Now I am just waiting for the crap to get out of my system. I would not recommend this drug. I will just keep the psoriases before I will go through this again. F 43 2 months

 3  Crohn's Disease Very sleepy first two days after injection, some nausea. Scalp Psorisis. Red bump rash that is thought to be from Humira. (No doc is sure x4, they just keep putting me on antibiotics when it opens up) Injection site pain, itching after injections. Headaches. Repeated infections Humira has given me some of my life back with severe crohn's. I can plan about 3 good days a week with it, rather than none without. I am intolerant or other ibd meds have shown no improvement ( I have taken them ALL aside from Cimzia and Tysarbi) Is it perfect? NOT AT ALL but so far the best option for me. F 38 2 years

 4  RA Injection site pain. But other then that the drug has really been a blessing. I do worry about long term side effects, or if I can no longer afford it. Its allowed me to lead a normal life, once again. F 48 6 years

 4  Crohn's disease Complete baldness. I lost all my hair within 6 months time. Using Humira now for three years and my hair did not yet return. Other side effects are, dry skin and always a runny nose. For the Crohn's disease it works perfect for me, did not have an inflammation since using Humira. But the side effects of the complete baldness does put pressure on my quality of life. F 37 3 years

 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

 3  Arthritis About 8 hrs after injecting, I feel 10 years younger. That's not a cliché, it's as close to describing how I actually feel as I can. However, the next day I feel the same. Doctor says I have to be on the drug for awhile before effects can be certain. But at more than $1,000 an injection, I don't know if that will happen. Is it worth the price. So far, I'd say no.

 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

 3  Crohn's Disease Humira has worked wonders for my Crohn's sypmptoms after trying nearly every Crohn's drug on the market. Side effects include: severe joint pain, tingling in fingers and toes, severe weight gain without a change in eating habits, headaches, swelling in injection site, night sweats, rashs, hair loss, ezcema, nausea, severe shortness of breath and swelling in legs, feet, face and stomach have occurred recently This medicine has worked great for the Crohn's but I just keep getting more and more side effects. Mine are getting so bad and severe it is dangerous, looking to find a new drug and see my GI doc asap. F 22 3 years

 1  crohn's Worked decent for the first few months although it was compounded with 60mg prednisone. Settled my crohns a bit but with each taper of pred I had terrible pain. I am now having an alergic reaction of some sort with an itchy scaly rash all over my legs arms belly and back. It is just unbearable, I cannot continue with this drug. M 29 8 months

 2  Chrons Extremely tired on Humira. I now have pain in my knees and other joints. Hands feel swollen also. Over all I felt much better before taking Humira and could deal with the diarrhea as I have had crohns for so long. Being tired all the time has actually reduced my quality of life. If things do not change I will tell my GI I am stopping the treatment. I will wait a full 6 months to see if there are any changes. M 52 90 days
