| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR HUMIRA | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 3 | Crohn's disease | Severe pain at injection site, swelling & red rash also at injection site. Been told it's common BUT could go either way improve as I continue treatment or I could have a worse reaction (hives, throat swelling) the more usage. Dread each dosage due to reaction, take antihistamine & cream to help non has as yet! | F | 30 | 10 weeks | 5/26/2012 | 3 | AS | Headache, nausea, exhaustion | My pain has lessened, but I am very afraid of future side effects. I've had terrible headaches, extreme fatigue, and my gastric problems have came back since I've been off prednisone. | F | 28 | 1 weeks 2X M | 5/24/2012 | 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 | 4 | Rheumatoid Arthritis | Slight Fatigue the next day. Minor rash / itching in injection area | This drug has been extremely effective. The minimal side effects are definitely worth the non-existing swelling of my joints. | F | 23 | 3 years 40mg 2X M | 5/22/2012 | 1 | psoriasis | I am almost 66yrs. old and have acne (I think?). Never had a blemish on my face for over 40 yrs. My foot is swollen and aches.I get under 6 hrs. of sleep. I just can't sleep. never had a ploblem before. | I have been off humira for 2 months. BAD DRUG | F | 65 | 3 weeks 40 mg 1X W | 5/20/2012 | 1 | Pustular Psoriasis/RA | Had severe Pustular Psoriasis on my feet. First I was on Embrel and I had a severe allergic reaction to it, I went to the hospital with Psoriasis all over my body, so my doctor put me on Humira. In fact my hands were not as stiff, but I still had a mild reaction to the drug, but I remained on this drug for 6 months with advise from my doctor until my insurance company fowled up the prescription and I was unable to get the meds. After I was off this drug for 2 weeks, I have developed severe knee pain, fatigue and shortness of breath. I have been off this drug now for 2 months and still my knees are very painful. | This is a dangerous drug. | F | 54 | 6 months 1X O | 5/14/2012 | 5 | RA | I have none..... | I appreciate their helping with the co-pay! | M | 63 | 3 years 40 mg 2X M | 5/11/2012 | 4 | Crohns | Headaches, Dry Skin, Painful Joints, Poor Memory and Shortness of Breath | Seems to be working fine for the Crohns. Swings and roundabouts. | M | 55 | 18 months 40MG 1X O | 5/8/2012 | 3 | Crohns | Mild rash, bad joint pain, insomnia, fatigue, | Put my crohns disease in remission. | F | 45 | 90 days 40mg 1X O | 5/7/2012 | 2 | crohns, severe in duodenum | Feet and ankles hurt so bad, no matter laying or standing. Tired all the time. Chest feels like pressure. Depressed. Hands, wrists and fingers ache, foggy. Was on remicaid and had a bad reaction. Could not move for a month. Crohns is getting better. but is the tradeoff.even worth it. | F | 32 | 2 months 40 | 5/4/2012 | 4 | Crohn's Colitia | After getting off prednisone, I started having side effects from the Humira. Hair loss, swollen legs, shortness of breath. Had few side effects at first. | Had very little pain at injection site. I used my legs, brought the med to room temperature for 30 minutes. I'm a nurse, so had no qualms about the injections. Humira brought my Crohn's under control. Wish there was more info about its use in the elderly. | F | 70 | 9 months 40mg 2X M | 4/29/2012 | 1 | puscular psoriasis | Brfore I started taking this I had psoriasis on my hands and feet. I now have it from my head to toe the only place I do not have it is on my face. I also have been breaking out in hives every where. i have been to the ER 2times and to my dermotologist several times in the last two weeks. She is telling me this is not a side effect from the Humira. I don't understand I never had it this bad. I am miserable! my body is aching all over almost like I have the flu I also feel like I have lost the feeling in parts of my body. Headaches are terrible. Has anyone else experienced this while taking Humira? I also am very sleepy. | F | 32 | 2 months 4o mg 1X W | 4/29/2012 | 1 | ankylosing spondylitis | With in 5 min blisters hives all over body, made my teeth loose I literally could have yanked them. ER said I was 2 minutes from death. Throat swelled shut. Now ankles swollen and no feeling in shins down, vericose veins. Ulcers in legs very deep. Body in extreme pain worse than ever. Ready to die because they say oh just take suboxone? Retarded or what. I was already allergic to enbrel. | M | 38 | 1 days 1 shit | 4/24/2012 | 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 | 1 | RA | DEATH!! | My aunt went into hospital with what they thought was an allergic reaction to another drug and she died 2 weeks later. 2 days after they finally determined she had lymphoma. Do not take a chance with this drug! They say slight chance of lymphoma occurring but I think the odds are greater than slight! | F | 63 | 1 years 1X day | 4/1/2012 | 1 | RA | death | death within 9 months of diagnosis from rare form of bile duct cancer, death in March 2012 | F | 62 | 1X day | 3/31/2012 | 5 | Psoriasis arthritis | Sore eyes only and sometimes tiredness | F | 31 | 2 years 40 mg | 3/29/2012 | 3 | Psoriasis, PA & RA | No side effects on the first two weeks .. pain went away got back to my old routine , Second shot .. the pain came back on (L) side of my body | Although I feel stiffness and some pain I am not gonna give up on the injections til the 3 mths are up , I felt great with the first shot and am hoping that this will clear up my conditons . | F | 48 | 3 months 40 2X M | 3/29/2012 | 1 | chron's | Extremely painful injections, brusing, red itchy bump at injection site that got larger each injection, extremely tired all the time, shortness of breath, sudden weight gain 15lbs in one week all in my midsection. | For me Humira was horrible! The injections were way to painful! I can take pain (3 tattoo's, 3 kids,nurses digging in my arm to find a vein for a IV and passed a gall stone!) but that was ludicrous! Plus the extra weight gain all of a sudden has pissed me off to no end. I told my doctor about the side effects and I was taken off Humira. I wouldn't of allowed it to go on anyways. If you are having bad side affects or it's just to painful for you also, just say no! Like I did! There are other meds available and Humira is not the holy grail! | F | 44 | 1.5 months 40mg 2X M | 3/29/2012 | 4 | crohns and inflamatory artheritis | headaches ,fatigue, sensitivity too the sun, now muscle tiredness and joint pain.allergy too alcohol | I found initially Humira helped I went from bed ridden and taking 60 too 100 mg of cortasone almost permanently to now a permanent dose of 5 mg of cotasone daily over the 18 months .. But I have been on huge doses of steroids for 23 years and it has had a detramental effect on my whole body.. The humira gave me back my life | F | 54 | 18 months 30 2X M | 3/3/2012 |
