| 2 | Psoratic ARTHRITIS AND UVEITIS | It worked well at first in July 2022. But by January 2023 it felt like shot was giving me only days of improvement. My hands swelled, fingers, total hip surgery that never healed well n swelled previously got worse. Swelling on left hip from bottom of scar to above my hip bone. Fatigue got bad then worse.. heavy hair loss.. Depression, crying about everything wrong in my life. Then i went numb ..like i couldn't express myself. I Couldn't have a normal reaction..I felt frozen some days. No emotion. Migraines galore . I have trigeminal nerve disorder and I have ear damage. I couldn't tell what's hurting.. I am a cancer Survivor of a nasty cancer that affected my mouth and brain. | So Dr suggested to add Methotrexate to Humira , but nationwide shortage since last year. I just finally got it and I felt really ok and more energy for 2 big days. Then today I woke with a #10 migraine that's lasted all day. Drs won't admit that any of these issues exist. Swelling , depression.. I really thought methotrexate was helping me yesterday. I'm gonna go to ear nose throat to check ear drum and see my Neurologist this week. I've decided this can't go on and I'll get off Humira. If headaches are from it. Even if methotrexate helps what's going to happen if pharmacy says oh we can't get it again for months. Humira alone is doing something bad to me. | F | 61 | 14 months 40mg 2X M | 9/10/2023 | |
