Humira and side effects
Common Questions and Answers about Humira and side effects
humira
t take it, but I looked it up and it has numerous side-effects and I know from experience that if you start a new medicine and it causes itching of any type you need to contact your Doctor and advise him what's going on. DON'T stop your meds unless he/she tells you to.
PLEASE call him/her now. I'll.be.looking for your update. ...........
That doesn't sound good at all. Combining the methadone and the norco could be too much. Maybe you should call your doctor tomorrow and let him know what's happening. I know nothing about the Humira. Your pharmacy could tell you about any drug interactions.
If I were you, I wouldn't take anything else until I spoke with my doctor and/or pharmacist.
Thanks! I've just started had shot a week ago. Just curious about successes and side effects.
Common side effects of Humira include: upper respiratory tract infection, headache, injection site reaction, skin rash, antibody development, sinusitis, and pain at injection site. Other side effects include: urinary tract infection, abdominal pain, and flu-like symptoms. https://www.drugs.com/sfx/humira-side-effects.html I'd tell your doctor you are experiencing this.
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.
Humira is a good medication to induce remission and symptom resolution, tough there are a few side effects associated. However all side effects may not necessarily develop in everybody. I would suggest discussing the pros and cons in detail with your treating rheumatologist.
Let’s hope for a favourable recovery.
Take care!
Humira is an anti-inflammatory monoclonal antibody directed against TNF. Well, every drug including prednisone would have side effects and so does humira. Without a detailed evaluation, I would not be the best judge if this would be the most suitable drug in the situation; though it could be given a short period of trial to see how well you do on it. You may also like to get a second opinion from another gastroenterologist before making a change in the treatment plan.
Hope this is useful.
s disease since 1994 and i have been on all meds myh last resort has been remicade treatments , and it has been working the only draw back for me is my body aches after treatment....and also i have to get put to sleep because of the side effects...such as tightning of the chest , nausea, vomiting, hives and ect. i get it all...
Lulu--I used to take humira, which is a TNF inhibitor like Enbrel. One of the rare side effects of both humira and enbrel is the development of MS or MS-like symptoms. I didn't pay enough attention to the warning because it seemed so remote and happened so rarely. However, it happened to me. If what I have is MS, the doctor isn't sure whether the humira caused it, or if I would've gotten MS anyway, but the humira hurried the process along.
Yesterday my rheumatologist has finally decided to give me something other than anti-inflammatories and anti-depressants for my list of symptoms which he has decided are due to either Ankylosing Spondylitis, Psoriatic Arthritis (Palindromic Rheumatism was mentioned too) or possibly all of the above, with a side order of Fibromyalgia. Just wondering if anyone here has taken Humira (Adalimumab) as I've read about it and am freaking out a bit!
MTX last Fall 2010, so my rheumy had already switched me over to Imuran ( at the max dose) when he decided to add the Humira after we discovered that the prednisone/Imuran combo wasnt doing the trick (swelling was down but I was still having a lot of pain in my fingers, hands, and wrists plus stiffness)...we added the Humira in mid April and after it appeared to be working (about 2 months later), I started tapering down the prednisone from then 20 mg per day already down to 5 mg per day now...
Does anyone know if I could move back to Remicade if only 8-10 weeks have passed. My side effects on Cimzia are comparable to the.side effects on Humira that caused me to stop using the drug. Remicade is only marginally effective now for my Crohns but the side effects are minimal. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
My wife and I are trying to get pregnant so I would prefer to stay away from methotrexate and xeljans right now.
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.
I have ankylosing spondylitis and just had my first Humira shot 2 days ago. Today I woke up feeling very achy, my nose is stuffy and my throat is scratchy. I don't know if it's allergies, an infection, or a side effect from the Humira. Has anyone else had this happen shortly after starting this drug? I am planning to call my doctor on Monday but just trying to figure out what's going on.
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.
Hang in there the first couple of weeks after tx are the worst then it should be smooth sailing
Like sldb said some sides can take up to 6 months for the interferon to get out of your system., and then there are cases like mine (I treated twice for 1A) who will have life long side effects to name a few....
