Avatar f tn i have done searches but only find info on humira induced lupus, nothing about treating lupus with humira. is anyone on here taking humira for lupus? any advise would be greatly appreciated. thanks!!
Avatar f tn I would try getting her meds straight from the company. There are a few websites that offer assistance. My husband is starting Humira (expensive) he get's it free from the company. As her dr about a perscription assistance plan, we like pparx.com...hope this helps, you can also try other companies by typing helping with perscription drug costs in your search engine.
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar m tn I hve hsv1&2 for over 6 yrs nw ,no flare up for two yrs.I just started humira then out the blue I flared up,nw I'm due for my 15th day injection but hve to wait for my Doc to call to let me know if I'm able to continue the humira injection wth this active virus.I think the humira reactivated the virus,wow! What u suspect she'll say?
Avatar m tn I've been diagnosed with RA since 2006. On Methotrexate 20mg, Humira, and folic acid. In last 24 months I've had 3 bouts of pancreatitis (twice after gall bladder removal) with no cause determined gastro doc, and chronic burning sensation in legs, buttocks and lower back. (Similar to feeling of frostbite) Sensation increases as day progresses and greater sensitivity on sitting or clothes binding in areas.
158939 tn?1274915197 I do get muscle twitches, not as often now as before MTX, but they are there. Had my dr appt last week and have put off Humira/Enbrel for another 8 weeks. It's looming out there, but so far I am avoiding them. MTX is enough!
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.
Avatar n tn well I do know for certain if you are sick you will be treated under the national health care system for free...go to the emergency room . anyone will direct you .
686769 tn?1236272131 I am still waiting for an answer from the pharmaceutical company on the Humira, as I also have NO insurance. I am on Endocort (steroid with a LOT less side effects than prednisone), Pentassa, Depression meds, Trammadol (pain), percocet (pain), azathioprine 75mg. Still, I am in pain almost daily. Every once in a while I have a good day. I am really having a hard time, mentally and physically. I have always been very active, early to rise and then go go go go...
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 My wife has been on Humira for about 4-5 months and it hasn't helped! she just had a blood test and her inflammation is very high. her Gastro. Dr. wants to see her in another month and take another blood test. Have you an opinion on the drug Naltrexone and vedolizumab.
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 m tn Try contacting the manufacturer of your medication (will be listed on the box or container) and ask them if they have a patient assistance program - many of them do - and they usually are for either a great discount or even for free.
Avatar f tn I have been on Humira for psoriasis for approx. 9 mos. now. In the beginning I noticed that I as well had some swelling. I got reading alot about reactions etc. It did say that your body does contain more water which in turn would cause swelling. I myself found that after about 3mos. I had gained weight, not that I couldn't afford to but all the same I did find it a little odd. After reading so much on Humira, I dont' think I've missed a page, it is one of those side effects.
Avatar n tn Hi I am also on Humira. What would you sugjest for the flu vaccine? Some say its ok to get it. Some say no.
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.
Avatar f tn m willing to take those risks because it has almost completely relieved the very painful metatarsalgia I was experiencing the past 3 - 6 months...
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.
1326907 tn?1274923270 hey out there! i have had crohns for 10 years now. i just started humira yesterday. anyway, what do all of you do for pain management. narcotics are the only thing that kills the pain, but i don't know if thats the right course to go.. if anyone could tell me what they do, or what kind of narcotics work best for crohns, or if i have to live with this pain.
Avatar m tn Thanks. Please feel free to post your results when they are available. Again, I anticipate the test will be negative.
Avatar f tn 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?
