5 | Psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis | M | 57 | 40 mg 1X day | 12/19/2011 Patient 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 Patient History | 5 | Rheumatoid arthritis | None | F | 63 | 10 years 40 mg | 12/2/2011 | 4 | phsorises | Little harder to breath during workouts. | M | 21 | 1 months 40 | 11/29/2011 | 1 | Psoriasis | None identified | No contraindications whatsoever but it hasn't produced any beneficial results either. | F | 53 | 4 months 40mg 1X O | 11/28/2011 | 1 | Rheumatoid Arthritis | Appendical cancer which is also in the Peritoneal cavity and I'm told is terminal within 6-18 months | M | 54 | 10 months 2X M | 11/25/2011 | 1 | PSA | Hair loss, fatigue, sleeplessness, severe muscle pain, tinnitus, pain in the left side of chest. Humira should be taken off the market. I know well over a thousand other pasients, everyone on Humira has had severe to serious side effects. Here in Europe they do not speak about all the reported deaths from people on the drug. As much as 0,93% do die. This means approx. 930 people per 100 000. Would YOU put yourself in jeopardy? | M | 34 | 6 months 40 MG | 11/21/2011 | 3 | Chronic Plaque Psoriasis NLD | constant nasal sinus, chest infection casing pleurisy lung lining infection, burst a blood vessel in throat, hair thinning, lumpy swelling of injection site, get tired easier, no energy (lethargic), run down, emotional and have had to miss a couple of dosages due to infections & illness to help body recover | I am also a type 1 diabetic with already a lowered immune system. | F | 25 | 18 months 2X M | 11/10/2011 | 4 | Rheumatoid Arthritis | F | 21 | 1X W | 11/9/2011 Patient History | 1 | Have not started treatment yet | I am so scared to start this treatment and my physician is waiting to hear back from me if I would like to proceed with this. i was most recently on Imuran which caused me to be violently ill with temps of 103. and an hour later freezing to the point of numbness. This Humira is the next option and I am soo terrified from what I have read. I almost feel that living with my side effects from Crohns is better then the side effects of any antiinflammitory drug. | F | 38 | 1X day | 11/9/2011 | 4 | Ankylosing Spondylitis | I have not experienced any side effects that are not easily explained by other medications such as narcotic pain medications, and dealing with severe pain and sleep interruption. I have fatigue but had it before I started humira, but less so with each injection period | I feel better with each injection. I am more active, walking 25-55 minutes per walk twice a day and doing resistance training including some free weight use. I have lost 25 lbs with more robust exercise program and better diet. Set it out about 20-30 minutes before injection and the injection becomes a LOT easier to deal with. | M | 51 | 2 months 40mg 3X M | 10/29/2011 | 3 | RA | Headache,Fatiuge,tired.I am down for 2-3days after I take the shot. | I don't feel any difference yet,I am also taken Metotraxate and Sulfizite.Will take 2 more Injection and see if they work. | F | 55 | 6 weeks 40mg 2X M | 10/27/2011 | 4 | Psoriatic Arthritis | Lately have extreme fatigue and a headache immediately after injecting and a very strange headachey feeling during the night. Feels like I need to move my head very slowly - odd feeling. At work today and just want to go home and sleep....... | F | 56 | 3 years 20 2X M | 10/26/2011 | 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 | 2 | psoriasis | Had the flu symptoms on 9th day. swelling at injection site after 2nd week. 4th/5th week severe headaches on and off. tylenol did not help. Also had rashes on my face, thought it was allergic reaction to aspirin | My psoriasis cleared up noticeably immediately. Only lightened skin even after medication was stopped after 2nd dose. | F | 43 | 8 days 40mg 1X day | 10/18/2011 | 4 | Ulcerative Colitis | Was diagnosed with UC in May 2010. Tried Remicade first, but was allergic. Started Humira Mar 2011. Loved it! Noticed a positive difference right away and was impressed with the ease of dosage. | Just started getting major joint pains over this past week as well as a sore throat since my last injection. Thought maybe a virus, but am concerned by some of the information I have recently found on Humira and joint pain. Much too young to be semi-immobile! | F | 40 | 7 months 40mg 2X M | 10/10/2011 | 4 | Palmo-Pustular Psoriasis | I am not sure if Humira caused these side effects but it sure did quit when I quit. I had eye pain (not related to sinuses or at least the sinus medicine wouldn't work on it only imitrex took away the pain), sinus problems and regular headaches. I started to be a walking pharmacy. Also tested positive on TB skin test, clear on chest x-ray BUT the State (yes they were contacted) highly recommended I take the blood test. It was a lot of trouble but I did and I didn't have TB. | It cleared my psoriasis 100% but it took about 4-5 months to work. I quit taking it because of the side effects and all the lawsuits/dangers. I am now having x-trac laser treatments and it works MUCH better. | F | 31 | 13 months 2X M | 9/26/2011 | 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 Patient History |
