Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn upper respiratory tract infection, headache, injection site reaction, skin rash, antibody development, sinusitis, and pain at injection site. Other side effects include: urinary tract infection, abdominal pain, and flu-like symptoms. https://www.drugs.com/sfx/humira-side-effects.html I'd tell your doctor you are experiencing this.
Avatar m tn Within six months I contracted systemic candida fungal infection which 4 years later is still treatment resistent. I obviously stopped the humira at that time but I continue to suffer from this infection. I now struggle with this as well as the arthritis.
Avatar f tn 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. If I take DayQuil and NyQuil everyday, my sinuses feel better but its been some weeks now that I'll get a horrible sinus headache without cold medicine. Laying down or sleeping on my stomache makes it worse. I want to talk to my rheumatologist about maybe going to every other week shots instead of every week.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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. He is terrified of getting the herpes infection and believes if he does it will be considerably worse for him and he won't be able to continue the Humira and thus end up crippled.
686769 tn?1236272131 I am sure they are causing me to have yeast infections. The Humira is a great drug for me. The problem is I feel fine most of the time, so then I feel like I don't need any medication. But then I get REALLY sick. Then everyone is cranky with me. The doctor says "You should never miss appointments and never stop taking meds without asking first" in a very condescending way.
Avatar m tn In addition, please remember that most exposures do not lead to infection. Since your condom broke during vaginal intercourse, your risk for infection is about 1 infection in 1000 sex acts even if your partner was infected which, as I noted above, is unlikely. Thus the odds are in your favor. 4.
Avatar n tn Thank you for your response. The only new thing I have started on myself, is Humira. I'm due for my 3rd injection tomorrow. I have rheumatoid arthritis myself. Could there be any connection?
Avatar f tn 7 Herpes 2 positive Igg2 - 3.41. The doc said to come back after her period and yeast infection were gone. He said that she had a very high level end must have recently gotten infected. We have been together for 18 months and both have been faithful. We have had occasional unprotected sex since we started dating. The first few times were in the beginning of our relationship. Neither one of us has any symptoms and I had an exam about a year ago with no +.
158939 tn?1274915197 I've just had my 2nd injection of Humira today (on 20mg, 2x month). Both times I've had no energy and felt bad for about 12 hours after the injection. Anyone else have this type of reaction to the injection?
Avatar m tn I had a high risk exposure almost 10 weeks ago. I took one 40mg dose of Humira two to three weeks before exposure. 1.Will that one dose of Humira affect or prolong the production of Hiv antibodies or p24 antigen. 2. I've been having symptoms since week 2 and have gotten worse since. It started with a rash on my torso. some of the rashes looked like purple streaks and some looked like pink spots. they weren't that many and they didn't stay long.
Avatar m tn Both are supposed to do the same thing in the body. The only difference is Remicade is a made-protien where as the Humira is a human protien. With Humira you give yourself a shot every other week. So far, after using both, I prefer the Remicade. I didn't mind the treatments as much as I do the Humira even though the Humira is more convienient (I hate having to give myself a shot.
Avatar n tn I just got my first shot of Humira for my suspected psoriatic arthritus yesterday (i realize this is in RA, but there's no other section), and I had a quesiton. For those of you that take it or have knowledge about it, I know that it lowers your white blood count. People in my house are sick quite a bit during the year, so other than screenings (which I obviously will be getting), how do I protect myself? Supplements? Immune-boosting foods?
Avatar m tn Welcome to the forum. Dr. Hook and I take questions at random, without regard to requests for one of us or the other. Incidentally, this thread is in the wrong forum; I'll have it moved to the STD forum. You say you have asked questions previously, but nothing shows up under this username. I'll have the web adminstrator contact you to see if your accounts can be merged.
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 n tn This is what I was worried about - that my partner still may be carrying the high-risk strains from his past partner (who had CIN-III) or anyone since, and regardless of the impact of Humira or otherwise, still harboring an active infection that I got exposed to. What was surprising / unexpected to me was the VIN-III diagnosis. Now in just starting to read more about this, it seems VIN occurs more in older women and tends to have a higher recurrence rate than CIN.
Avatar f tn I am now 36 weeks and have my 3rd yeast infection and have had one uti since I hit my 3rd trimester. I am so tired of getting infections. It just want to cry about it but I know it won't change anything.
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'm 25 weeks pregnant. I've had a couple bacterial infections and recently I've noticed some little white bumps in the vaginal area. I was wondering if this could be from the bacterial infection? Or if it could be from a yeast infection? I have an appointment tomorrow but it's really worrying me and I was just looking for some answers.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn Hello, I have been running myself around in circles over this for days and still haven't come to a decision, so I'm going to put this out there for more thoughts. I had my first flare up with Crohn's back in July 2011. I was diagnosed in Sept 2011 and went on Humira in Jan 2012 after the side effects of other medications were deemed worse than the disease. Around May 2015, I developed three abscesses (perianal), one right after the other.
Avatar f tn 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.
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.
