| 4 | Psoriatic Arthritis | Had to stop taking Humira 2 years ago due to contracting TB from a friend that was undiagnosed,. It took 6 months to get rid of TB. Now my swelling and painful joints are an issue again and psoriasis scales are returning. I do miss the benefits that Humira gave me, but the doctor recommends not going back on Humira again after having TB. | M | 55 | 2 years 40 mg 2x m 1X M | 5/23/2015 | ||
