humira in the uk

https://www.hopkinsarthritis.org/arthritis-info/rheumatoid-arthritis/ra-treatment/ It's definitely worth a visit to your doctor to discuss more budget-friendly alternatives.

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?

Here's my meds (Humira is the only new one in the past 5 months): Armour Thyroid 2gr Omeprozol: 40mg Allegra 180mg Albuteral HFA as needed Celexa 40mg Nasonex 50MCG Boniva 150mg Hydroxychloroquine 200mg Advair 250/50 Lyrica 150mg Humeria 40mg/2x month

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?

Was wondering about Ulcerative Colitis. I've since read the Humira isn't even approved yet for U.C. even though Dr has been talking to us about it for months. He thinks a lot of it. But without approval, insurance won't help pay for it. SO for now it's a mute point I guess. Dr upped prednisone again. Dr doesn't like Remicade at all. How has your experience been with Humira? How long have you been using it, etc? THANK YOU.

s a growing amount of evidence of the development of Autoimmune conditions, related to TNF inhibitors, such as Remicade, Humira and other biologics.

Humira blocks the action of TNF. Thus once the cellular damage heals, and the inflammation subsides, the diarrhea will subside and the digestion will be better. Please also 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. The advice may not be completely correct for you as the doctor cannot examine you and does not know your complete medical history.

s allergies, an infection, or a side effect from the Humira. Has anyone else had this happen shortly after starting this drug? I am planning to call my doctor on Monday but just trying to figure out what's going on.

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.

Hi, My daughter-in-law, age 28, has had Crohn's for about 14 years, and tried all of the meds like Remicade, etc. None of those meds seemed to be working any longer, so her Dr.put her on Humira injections twice monthly about 15 mos. ago. We all did a lot of research, as she hated to go on it, but what do you do?

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?.

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.

I was so scared about getting pregnant while I was on those medication that I would have terminated the pregnancy long before the 6 month mark. Most people with this chronic illness worry about the genetic factors. I would worry about the the effect of the medications that I am taking on my child rather than the genetic factors when/if medication is continued during pregnancy. But, that is my opinion. My opinion doesn't mean I'm right by any means.

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.

My arthritis is MUCH better than it was a year ago, so I believe the humira and celebrex have helped the most, possibly the imuran as well since I have to stay on that along with 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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

Most of us are in the U.S. and would not be able to answer your question, as we don't know the rules surrounding your NHS. You should check with your local authorities. Or you could check with another clinic to see. We do find that the NHS does not, often, allow for adequate thyroid testing/treatment, and many of our members do have to go private in order to get adequate care. Do you know the exact TSH level? Some doctors refuse to begin treatment until TSH is quite high.

My question is, is this drug only prescibed in the US? I myself had never heard of it here in the UK. Does anybody know if it perhaps has another name here in the UK or do we just not use the drug? I currently take Diazapam or Ativan for extreme attacks but it would be nice to have something to take on a regular basis that does the same thing but without the same addictive qualities and to perhaps stop me from getting myself into a state in the first place? Does anyone know about this???
