Humira protection plan
Common Questions and Answers about Humira protection plan
humira
I was diagnosed with Crohn's 9 years ago. I have been taking Asacol (5-ASA) and Imuran (Azathioprine). Last february I was hospitalized for the first time and was put on prednisone. I am still on prednisone and my body won't let me get off of it. My doctor wants me to start Humira, but I am scared. I don't like reading about the side effects and things that can happen when on that drug. Does anyone have any experience with this drug (Humira)? I would really appreciate it.
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?
Of course it seems a lot of folks have the same questions you do after reading humira info online - found a lot of questions asking if humira causes herpes.
If you already have herpes simplex, either orally or genitally, it could cause it to reactivate. Most people never get tested for herpes to know that they have it.
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.
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.
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.
I had intercourse with my bf last nite without any protection. I am really confused whether I'll get pregnent or not. As I discussed this thing with my bf, he said he didnt discharge last night so I should not worry. Plz help, what should I do? Should I wait to see whether I will have my periods on time or should I take some contraceptive pills??
PLZ HELP..
I just started Humira (2 shots so far) and have had a worsening of symptoms since the first shot. My hands/feet have become swollen and my joints hurt more than before I started taking the Humira. I also have systemic vasculitis (Churg-Strauss Syndrome) and am on Cytoxan and Prednisone, but I have been taking both for more than a year and know the side-effects from each.
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.
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?.
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.
I'm assuming that you mean your b/f came inside of you without protection or just on the outside of your vigina? I'm not sure what you mean by "on my vagina". If he climaxed inside of you without using protection, right now it's too early to know. You will have to wait and see. When is your menstration due? Plan "b" is an emergency pill contraceptive. This pill if taken by someone who does become pregnancy causes an miscarriage or birth defects.
Hi, I also have AS, diagnosed in 2007 and have taken both Enbrel and Humira. Neither did the trick for me. Enbrel did nothing Humira gave minimal relief, it did help with my eye symptoms. I have also been on celebrex and several other medications. I was unable to get much relief with any of them, my lower back and hip would just kill me. About 9 months ago I completely stopped taking everything because they just werent helping and I just felt terrible.
the following day I took the knock off brand Plan B...2 days later we ended up having sex.. he used protection, but said it didn't feel the same & proceeded to have sex without protection(stupid me again). I was so worried the next day that I took the knock off brand Plan B yet again...I'm not sure if I took it too soon after already taking 2 days prior.. Needless to say I was cramping like hell the next day, experienced slight bleeding, & peeing stung a lot.
I have injected humira 2 weeks ago and after 3 days developed a itch and cant sleep. will it subside?
Does anyone know if I could move back to Remicade if only 8-10 weeks have passed. My side effects on Cimzia are comparable to the.side effects on Humira that caused me to stop using the drug. Remicade is only marginally effective now for my Crohns but the side effects are minimal. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
My wife and I are trying to get pregnant so I would prefer to stay away from methotrexate and xeljans right now.
