humira

6669 tn?1515647637 Prior to the surgery i had to have some dental work completed so there w ould be no issues. I was on antibiotics from Oct 2016 Until June 2017. After my open heart surgery i had lots of complications...picc lines. Multi hospital stays. Chest reopened, debreedment, osteomylitis in sternum, infection in leg in 2 places, on 15 meds in am 10 at night. During this all, I've lost my taste. At first is was a salty taste. Now it's nothing. Everything I try to eat has zero taste.
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 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 f tn My friend had no choice it was a big risk if she didnt have the dental work , she lost hur baby after the procedure and when she went back for somthing lyk a week later and the dentist cryed and refered her to someone alse, she was only three months but i dont recomend to anyone
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?
1326907 tn?1274923270 Well, narcotics work wonderfully for the pain, however you can't live life being on narcotics all the time. How would you work/drive/care for your children if your head is clouded by narcotics? I was like you - I had awful pain, started Humira and within a few months felt completely better. I am still on Humira and haven't had any flare ups (fingers crossed so that I don't jinx it) for two years.
Avatar f tn Hi there, Hoping someone can help me.....I am about 7 weeks pregnant and have quite a bit of dental work to have done. I've told my dentist to hold off on any X-rays and replacement fillings till after I'm pregnant. But I still have some work that was "in progress" that he wants to finish, mostly to do with broken crown that need to come off and then be replaced. This will require two visits, both about 1 hour and 15 minutes each.
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 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.
Avatar n tn I'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.
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 Yes I have and they can numb you as long as your in your second trimester
Avatar f tn I went to the dentist yesterday and found out I have a couple of caries and they said best to repair them after delivery because it's not good to apply unnecessary anesthetic during pregnancy, plus they'll want to do some xrays to see the depth of the caries, and that's also best avoided during pregnancy...
Avatar f tn I had some fillings done and had to have a wisdom tooth out cause it was infected but they stop doing dental work after a certain point in your pregnancy cause they don't want to trigger something to make you go in to preterm labor. It should be fine. Just let your dentist know you're pregnant.
10084165 tn?1414634307 When I was in my first trimester I went I had my teeth cleaned and I have a chipped tooth in the back and its been bothering me and I told her but they wouldnt do anything because they wouldnt x-ray me so j have to wait till december to go back and get it fixxed :/
Avatar f tn at 13 weeks your fine for dental work.
Avatar f tn Im 10 weeks and 2 days and part of my wisdom tooth had broken off im not in pain but have a sharp edge which is digging into my mouth a bit. Is it safe to have dental work done or even have the tooth pulled if need be? I plan to ring the dentist tomorrow and do you get any benefits if your pregnant?
7775507 tn?1400115882 Yes dental work is safe and highly recommended when pregnant so you dont pass an infection to your unborn baby. I know that fillings, deep cleaning, tooth extractions, fixing chipped teeth are all safe. I would ask about root canals though.
Avatar f tn Have any of you ladies had lots of dental work done while pregnant? I have read about what to avoid and all that but just curious of who has went through it.
Avatar m tn d have to assume that most of those people have been to the dentist, and many have had some kind of dental work done, and not gotten any symptoms. If you've never gotten an outbreak, it doesn't mean you will now, if you even have it. This isn't something I'd worry about at all. If you end up with an outbreak, you can try suppressive therapy, like daily valtrex or acyclovir, at least for the duration of your braces.
Avatar n tn Can someone pregnant have some dental work done? I have a tooth ache and I Wana get checked, I might have to get xrays? What to do?
