Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn I took my first Humira shot in my leg on Monday and last night my leg began to hurt really bad. It is a pain that is hard to describe. I told my husband it was a "bone pain" it hurts down deep in the bone from my knee to my hip joint. Today it is hurting mostly in my hip joint.I take darvocet daily for pain and it really isn't helping and neither is naproxen. Is this normal after the first few days of the injection?
158939 tn?1274915197 I've just had my 2nd injection of Humira today (on 20mg, 2x month). Both times I've had no energy and felt bad for about 12 hours after the injection. Anyone else have this type of reaction to the injection?

686769 tn?1236272131 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 n tn Thank you for your response. The only new thing I have started on myself, is Humira. I'm due for my 3rd injection tomorrow. I have rheumatoid arthritis myself. Could there be any connection?
Avatar m tn night last 4 mths also Endep 10mg 2 before bed to help restlessness ....still in pain ....so now about to start Humira but I cannot afford to gain weight,, and the forum makes me afraid to take.......as met have a few years ago ...any one still on Humira injection every fnight?.
Avatar m tn s on how this inflammation formed so quickly after surgery.
Avatar n tn ve been on Humira for about 6 months and I have been messing with my injection times a lot over the past couple months. Humira is the only thing that keeps me going, but I have to do it weekly. I noticed when I missed my dose, when I was doing it bimonthly, my symptoms would just keep getting worse. We did a few psychological tests to see if my symptoms were coming back due to an emotional connection. That was quickly proven otherwise as I started to vomit and have bloody stool.
Avatar f tn I am on humira and have had teeth pain eye pain and facial aches for 3 weeks. I even have had fevers. So miserable. Been on antibiotics for a week and still bad!
775302 tn?1253100505 Hello everyone, hope this posts finds you all well. I was hoping someone might have a trick to make taking the humira injector pen any less painful. I'm actually hoping I can talk my doctor into letting me get it in vial form so I can fill my own syringe and take it the same as I do the methotrexate. But that pen, its a killer. I always let it warm up from the fridge first is this a mistake maybe? Does it just burn naturally or does the injector pen make it worse?
Avatar n tn Also had just given myself Humira injection.
Avatar m tn I have been on Humira for about 1 1/2 years. An injection every other week for about a year and my DR. up my dosage to once a week for the past 4 months or so. I'm still in pain though.
Avatar f tn I just started Humira (2 shots so far) and have had a worsening of symptoms since the first shot. My hands/feet have become swollen and my joints hurt more than before I started taking the Humira. I also have systemic vasculitis (Churg-Strauss Syndrome) and am on Cytoxan and Prednisone, but I have been taking both for more than a year and know the side-effects from each.
1326907 tn?1274923270 I know it seems like forever but after 8+ weeks on the Humira, my pain is only present when using the bathroom. I also do acupuncture and when I was at my worst I was doing it 3x's a week. Maybe give that a whirl! Best of luck.
Avatar f tn I have RA and have been diagnosed 1 year ago. Apparently I'm a severe case. It just keeps progressing. I've been on Plaquenil, Methotrexate for 8 months now. Started Humira injections about 3 months ago. About 2 weeks ago...my left thigh was itching...so I scratched. You should see the bruise I have now. It's been more than a week and its dark purple and measures 6" wide by 6"lenght. Should I worry about it? Is this just a side effect from the meds? I must admit...
Avatar f tn m on plaquenil, prednisone (tapering down from 5 mg), imuran (150 mg per day), humira (injection every 10 days), celebrex (100 mg twice daily), and elavil (for insomnia and chronic pain of metatarsalgia & nueralgias in foot) plus medium & Zantac for GERD & Barret's esophagus, and I'm doing pretty well!
Avatar f tn As you well know Humira is an immuno-suppressive drug , which mainly inhibits TNF (tumor necrosis factor). There's a growing amount of evidence of the development of Autoimmune conditions, related to TNF inhibitors, such as Remicade, Humira and other biologics.
Avatar m tn does anyone know if it is ok to take the redipen injection and humira injections at the same time.
Avatar f tn Tried everything out there, coal tar creams, Steroid creams, uv lights, psoralens, vitamin b6 injection...what have you. Then I tried Enbrel which gave me hope, because almost half of my body was cleared and after 2 years, I couldn't go beyond any further than a few stubborn patches. Finally I moved to Humira and Oh my my I have a new lease on social interaction. I can now wear my short sleeves in summer.
Avatar n tn I think it was after some 6 months or so that I had the infliximab infusion on a Monday, delayed my mtx injection until the next day and had a violent reaction with pruple spots all over my body, very high temperature, nausea, vomiting, diarrahea and a pain up my spine. We agreed to stop the mtx as it seemed I had made antibodies against it.
1325952 tn?1274923917 My 16 year old daughter has a rare auto-immune disease called "Takayasu Arteritis". Her medicines consist of Prednisone 10 mg daily (down from 40 mg), Azathirophrine 150 mg daily, Methotrexate 1cc 25mg injection weekly, Humira 40mg 1cc injection weekly, & Levothyroxine .5mcg daily. Despite these medications, her Sed-rate ranges 13 - 40 and its checked every 2 weeks along with CRP which ranges 3.2 - 12.
Avatar m tn Remicade is a biologic injection, in the same class of drugs as Humira, Enbrel and Orencia. I have been taking Humira for rhematoid arthritis and it seems to be doing it's job as my rheumy says. It keeps me out of the emergency room with serious flares which had become a habit for me. These drugs are usually reserved for "rheumatoid" type arthritis and getting insurance companies to approve them is not normally easy.
Avatar f tn Has anyone else experienced new joint pain after starting Humira?
Avatar m tn Got cortisone injection, gave me anti-inflammatories, sent me home told me to rest. Pain never went away, but it subsided a bit. Pain flared up again after about a month, ortho referred me to rheumatologist. More anit-inflammatories for a while. Pain disappeared for a bit but reappeared in the exact same area but the OPPOSITE knee. Same deal, more cortisone shots,etc. And just like that, pain has come and gone moving around different joints in my body.
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.
Avatar n tn No its not, idiot. I really thought it was nervous system damage from the Humira injection so I discontinued them in November. Ive been trying to control the "storms" with neurontin. I works somewhat I think. I really thought I was getting better the further I got from my last Humira injection, but the last couple weeks have been almost the worst of all. Im searching the internet for any information I can find and am wondering if you all think this could be caused by caffeine?
Avatar f tn Hi monicaroni, I have been taking Humira almost 8 months. I take humira for Crohns Althougth reap the benefit for the AS. I am thinking that you probably had a concurrent infection brewing when you Started Humira. Good Luck managing your AS, I appreciate how difficult it can be with mobility issues, and treating pain.
422104 tn?1209763904 Ok, heres one for anybody out there. Has anyone tried the Enbrel, had no luck with it and gone on to either the Remicade or Humira and gotten results? It's a beautiful day here in the NE and the pup is telling me it's time to get out there! Make it a good day everyone and I will check in later today. Sue & Casey, ha ha!
