humira

Avatar n tn Sometimes disorders that have a congenital heart defect and can cause other medical problems are a genetic disorder that can be detected. It is just a thought. One more thing, have they checked and made sure your metabolic system is ok...For example-thyroid, parathyroid,) and last but not least did they run a check on your blood gases and electrolytes. Peace and hope you feel better soon.
Avatar n tn swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat. Serious and sometimes fatal infections may occur during treatment with Humira.
Avatar f tn I have been treated for rheumatoid arthritis with Humira for 7 months including a combination of Humira and methotrexate for the past 2 months. I also take 5mg of prednisone, and 6 Azulfadine tablets each day. I was taking Humira once every fourteen days and I am on 15mg of methotrexate a week. About a month ago, I started experiencing numbness in my toes and feet. I mentioned it to my rheumatologist but she wasn't concerned and simply told me it wasn't rheumatoid arthritis.
1325952 tn?1274923917 he survived with only some blindness in his right eye, some minor short term memory issues and some balance issues, but no speech problems. i told him the Lord is trying to get ahold of him and has given him a second chance. drs. said he should have dies two times over... As far as our drs answering questions, yes they do, but half the time i feel i know more than them since this is a very rare disease and i read medical journal and research reports all the time.
Avatar m tn statistically 1 out of every 2-3 of us has hsv1 and 1 out of every 4-5 has hsv2 - a lot of folks who take humira, are already going to have herpes whether they know it or not! Of course you also can contract herpes simplex, either orally or genitally, while taking humira too. It also can cause shingles to occur - you'd have to have had chicken pox in the past before starting humira in order to have a shingles reactivation.
Avatar m tn My gastro is going to start me on Humira and my question is, does Humira aid with digestion and stop the diarrhea. Thanks!
Avatar f tn I changed to Humira recently and was wondering if anybody has had success with humira who has ankylosing spondylitis. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Avatar f tn Any body else taking humira? I have Ulcerative colitis and thats the meds they put me on. My condition is pretty bad because all three of my doctors told me not to come off the meds. That it could cause problems and early delivery. Any one?
Avatar n tn I have RA and use Humira/methotrexate. How long do I have to be off Humira to get a yellow fever (and/or tyhphoid) vaccine? How long to I have to stay off Humira after the vaccine?
Avatar n tn I have injected humira 2 weeks ago and after 3 days developed a itch and cant sleep. will it subside?
Avatar f tn 13 years ago I was diagnosed with genital herpes which I contracted from my now ex. I married 8 years ago to a good man with a bad case of Psoriasis. About 6 months ago he was diagnosed with Psoriatic arthritis after having his hands and body start crippling his abailities in daily living, and began taking Humira as treatment. Recently he has decided that we can no longer be intimate and we need to separate.
Avatar f tn Some people do much better on Enbrel than Humira. If you are having problems and experiencing side effects, it sounds like Humira might not be the right one for you. Please let us know what your rhuemy has to say about what you are experiencing. I hope something helps soon as I know what a misery it is to be in flare.
Avatar f tn There are enough other sites and posts of the same complaint and also in the first 6 months on Humira. It was about my 3rd injection I think when I started having tooth pain in my upper front teeth. Within a couple of days, my bottom front teeth stated hurting. I skipped a week of Humira under Dr advice incase I was fighting a sinus infection. Symptoms got better. Then I started back on my Humira last night and my teeth are killing me again.
18894824 tn?1469465363 The stiffness never really went away, but the pain got a bit better after a few days of being on oxycontin xr. I took another Humira shot and it happened again, so they gave more steroids and upped the oxycontin slightly. It happened a week later and was the worst by far because the pain was now in all of my joints, and it wouldn't subside even when I was resting. I was finally admitted to the hoaoital after the third time.
Avatar f tn he thinks that i will get some help from humira and i am to start that this week. i have done searches but only find info on humira induced lupus, nothing about treating lupus with humira. is anyone on here taking humira for lupus? any advise would be greatly appreciated. thanks!!
Avatar n tn There are one or two case reports in which people on anti-TNF drugs (although not Humira) had problems with warts that were resistant to treatment and that cleared up when the drug was stopped. Those reports, plus what is known about the components of the immune system responsible for controlling HPV, certainly make it plausible that someone taking Humira might have more prolonged warts/HPV than otherwise.
Avatar f tn While I was on the MTX, I was constantly bruised. I have problems with balance off and on since I developed my conditions. I bump into things all the time. I never use to bruise easily, but even now I bruise easy, just not as easy as it was. Last summer I wore capris almost all the time because my legs were so bruised. Hang in there.
Avatar m tn On doctor suspects that because I have not taken Humira injection for about a month that it might have played a role in this mystery, Has anyone had anything similar to this or have insight on success and failures from Humira and Remicade, I really appreciate any and all responses and insight
Avatar m tn I had my gallbladder out two years ago and felt awesome since even went down in humira dosage. My husband and I had issues getting pregnant so we did IVF and sure enough it worked! Got positive confirmation in July 2013 and stopped humira that month. Symptoms started August 23 2013. It started off like acid reflux which they said was normal due to pregnancy take lots of tums and GI doc put me on extra strength omperzole. I got no relief!!
Avatar m tn At first Humira worked completely, but for the last 3 month I now have got again explosive Diarrhoea and bleeding. I spent a minimum of 10 times running to the toilet a day, and get anxious going out and that causes stress and then more flare ups. I had a SeHCAT Scan for suspected bile acid malabsorption which I have not got and is not my cause for my Diarrhoea. I also take 60mg and 16mg Loperamide a day but Diarrhoea will not stop, only with Prednisolone Steroids.
686769 tn?1236272131 Has anyone been on Humira and what kind of result did you have? Any side effects? I am on lots of meds which are not decreasing the pain. My doctor wants to put me on Humira and I was wondering if anyone out there has had any success with this drug. I am desperate to NOT be in pain anymore. Help...
Avatar f tn Anyone taking humira and feel like they are sick coming down with a cold for a week after injection? Not a full blown cold but the start of one. I feel like this always and this is my 3rd dosage ( counting the starter kit), so I'm new to humira. I've noticed if I'm stressed, I'll even get a sore throat. I know humira suppresses your immune system but are you supposed to feel like you're coming down with something every injection or will this go away with time?
Avatar f tn I was on Imuran as well as Humira and I never got sick, even after being around people who were. Maybe I was just lucky. Keep hand sanitizer with you at all times. Remember not to touch your face as well, and get lots of rest!
158939 tn?1274915197 are you on any other medications? i was also on arava when i started the humira and got a terrible rash on my hands and feet. i stopped the arava, took cholestyramine to get it out of my system. rash went away. still taking humira. no more rash, so that's good, but i'm not sure where these twitches are coming from. they started about three weeks ago. i'm so sorry you've been having this reaction. sounds like you've had quite a history. i wish you the best. hang in there.
Avatar f tn I am sorry that you have chrons. No fun right? Hopefully you will hear from those who have tried Humira. I was on Remicade and it did wonders. I am no longer on it because I have 2 fistula's and had to have bowel resection. But I went from barely could go to feeling really good on Remicade. Good luck, hope it works wonders.
