Avatar m tn As there was no improvement. Doctor adviced to have Exemptia (Adalimumab) injection. 4 injections (40mg 8ml) was given. Next day he was having stomach pain, tight and rigid stomach, and fast breathing. He was immediately admitted in the nearby hospital and doctor found he was suffering from megacolon (toxic colon). After taking x-ray and CT scan, it was found that there was perforation in his stomach.
Avatar n tn 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!
Avatar m tn Yes, Humira will indirectly help in controlling diarrhea and digestion. Let me explain this. Humira or adalimumab is a biological response modifier and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blocker. Thus, in Crohn’s it will modify your body’s response to disease (bloating, tenderness, diarrhea, indigestion etc). This is because any immune mediated disease like Crohn’s produces excess of an inflammatory protein called TNF-alpha, which causes cellular damage along with pain and inflammation.
Avatar n tn As most of us know Humira (adalimumab) reduces the effects of a substance in the body that can cause inflammation. Common Humira side effects may include: headache; nausea; cold symptoms such as stuffy nose, sinus pain, sneezing, sore throat; rash; or redness, bruising, ITCHING, or swelling where the injection was given. So what you are experiencing is not unusual - however I think you should give your MD a call as Sherry also suggested. He/she needs to know about your reaction.

Avatar m tn While it is antihistaminics, topical and oral steroids for eczema and antifungal for fungal infection, the treatment of psoriasis that have been approved by FDA are adalimumab and Xtrac Velocity excimer laser system. Apart from that, topical medications like emollients, creams containing coal tar, dithranol, corticosteroids, fluocinonide, vitamin D3 analogues and retinoids have been routinely used. So before using any treatment it is advisable to consult a dermatologist. I hope it helps.
Avatar f tn Taper off the steroids to low potency ones after consulting your dermatologist. The drugs that have been approved by FDA are adalimumab and Xtrac Velocity excimer laser system. Apart from that, topical medications like emollients, creams containing coal tar, dithranol (anthralin), corticosteroids like desoximetasone (Topicort), fluocinonide, vitamin D3 analogues (for example, calcipotriol), and retinoids have been routinely used. Phototherapy containing UV A has also been employed.

Biologic drugs such as adalimumab (Humira) and infliximab (Remicade) can also be started later in pregnancy. Discuss this with your doctor. Take care! The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you.
Avatar f tn Hi Everyone. I thought that I'd start a thread about something nice. Can you think of a time when someone (maybe a stranger, maybe not) helped you when you were in pain? For example, for me, sometimes people at the food store offer to help me take the food to my car. The little things mean a lot to me! Does anyone else have any other little things that have touched them? Also, on a side note--and I don't know where to put this...
176495 tn?1301280412 what a thoughtful son you have, last year my kids said dad its the thought that counts right, and of course i said yes, They all said well dad I thought about something really nice to get you, you would have loved it.
10175413 tn?1427170251 d this year with Ankylosing spondylitis. Been treating several months with Adalimumab - not terribly impressed. Get better relief from anti-inflammatory and chiropractic. Probably not related to my HCV tx, but find it interesting that Rheumy doc wants me to do PCRs for HCV - even after 12+ years sustained response - while doing the Adalimumab immunosuppressant.
Avatar f tn Though non steroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAID) and steroids are the gold standard of treatment, more emphasis should be laid on physical and occupational therapy, rest, heat pads and use of assistive devices for walking. Biological response modifiers like etanercept, leflunomide (used less often), adalimumab, or infliximab can be added in consultation with doctor.
Avatar f tn Hi ladies. It been nice sharing & reading about different topics on here with you. My little princess came on Saturday morning, at 37 weeks. My birthing plan was to have an epidural but she had her own plans. I woke up at about 6am with contractions that were 5-7 minutes apart. I showered up to see if they would stop. They slowed to about 10 minutes. I thought I'd take the tine to put on a little make up. As soon as i sat down, my water broke.
2175249 tn?1406933106 That's what scares me my now 12 year old had RSV and spent 2 weeks in the hospital when he was only 2 weeks old. So after that, we've done our best to keep visitors away from the new babies. His aunt even insists that since I got the flu shot it will be okay for people to visit. But even the CDC has said there are strains of flu going around that the shot may not protect from. But just because I got it doesn't 100% protect my baby.
Avatar f tn How much have you ladies gained throughout your pregnancy ? I'll be 36 weeks in 2 days and I've gained 50 lbs . I was only 100 lbs to start though.
Avatar f tn For all the young mums who feel its too early or for people judging them.. I thought this was really nice and said id share :) .. Its something like.. " Being a young mum just means i met you a little sooner and get to love you a little longer " .. I think thats sooo nice!! :) Everytime i have doubts i read this and it makes me feel better.. Jus thought id share!
Avatar n tn I had my 37 week appointment today. I'm 2cm and doc said I have a really nice looking cervix. What does this mean??
Avatar f tn So my boyfriend seems to think I'm having a boy because he said I'm mean he said if I was having a girl I would be much nicer. However I know that we are all hormonal as is but has any of you ladies notice being just overly mean or nice and also wat are you having. Btw I'm 17w1d with my third and I have 2 boys so I'm hoping for a girl but with both other pregnancies I do recall being mean.
