Common Questions and Answers about Humira not refrigerated
humira
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.
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?
i currently have been taking humira for about a year. i have not been sexually active in that time. i googled the topic, some sites say you can. Am i misreading the information? Can the actual shot give someone gential herpes or is just that in taking the drug outbreaks more likely to occur and easier to catch? Can you only catch genital herpes throught sexual contact?
My husband missed his dose of Humira by 24 hours a week ago. He is now vomiting regularly like he did prior to his diagnosis. Is this normal with a missed dose? He has been on Humira since September.
Hi. I am not on Humira but have talked to many AS patients who have had great success with it. Most of the AS folks I talk to are on enbrel, but they are comparable meds. I hope one of them will pipe in here. Bumping this to the top of the forum will help with that effort. How long have you been taking the Humira?
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.
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?
I have started Humira injections which is a tnf drug and since I started taking it three weeks ago I have had a constant headache. Is this normal as not even strong painkillers are helping.

forum makes me afraid to take.......as met have a few years ago ...any one still on Humira injection every fnight?.
Hi Ketot. :)
First, let me tell you how glad I am that you have found our Arthritis Community. I want to be sure you understand that the are no Doctor's on this Community. We are all either Arthritis sufferers, such as you or CP (Chronic Pain) patients. :)
I'm so sorry that you are experiencing this itching. As I said, I'm not a Doctor, but it definitely sounds as if you are having a reaction to the Humira.
I have not developed any bad side effects from the humira thankfully, and my DS-DNA is still negative. I am being closely monitored for SLE related symptoms just in case, but have had none besides the arthritis. Would like to know whic systemic, chronic connective tissue diseases I have one of these days, but, in the meantime, I'm happy with the combo of drugs I'm on....not entirely pain & stiffness free, but pretty close on most days...hoping it lasts!!!
Demyelinating diseases like MS can be caused by the use of Humira. If so, the course of the disease is variable and cannot be predicted. There is not much in the way of at home treatment that can be done for this disease. The same for polyneuropathy.
You may consult your doctor and advance the date of appointment. Exercise, in some people, helps reduce the awareness of symptoms. Meditation also can be tried.
Lantus can be left unfridgerated for weeks at room temperature and not be spoiled, as long at temperatures are reasonably cool, and the liquid remain clear. This is not, of course recommended. And not desirable. On the other hand, it will lose effectiveness, which means you may not be able to precisely titrate a dose. It's kind of expensive, so there is no need to discard it for such a short period without refrigeration.
Hola, lobo.... No tengo ninguna experiencia ni conocimiento sobre humira... he leído ahora que son unas inyecciones para tratar la artrosis, es para eso para lo que te lo han recetado ? Llama a tu médico y consulta con él/ella o la enfermera si es normal que te siga doliendo.. cuanto antes lo consultes mejor y es normal que les llame para algo así. Si hay una reacción, lo sabrán y si es normal te tranquilizará que te lo digan.
t think it was the now I can fell it go down my left leg, both calves tignly and i feel it in my neck also like spams, is this from teh humira? I called my dr and she idd not seem concerned? it has done wonders for my RA not at this cost. my finger tips fell tingly my clafs there is a pain in my butt that runs down my leg.
she does not keep the pens that are being used, refrigerated, only the unused ones. Although even though they are not kept refrigerated, they do seem to keep her blood sugars under control. I wonder though if they were refrigerated would that make a big difference? I will call her physician if necessary. I only see her once a week, another nurse sees her the other 6 days.
I have very severe pain on a relatively frequent basis, about 2 episodes a month. I am on humira and it seems to be helping all the other symptoms but the pain. My gi doc only ever offers antispasmodic meds. The pain I am feel IS NOT cramping...believe me I know what cramping is. Not sure what to do. Any advice would be appreciated. Before you ask I know it's not an obsruction...
