my humira program

the gov denied me extra help this year do to the increase of 50.

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...

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?

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?

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?

I have ankylosing spondylitis and just had my first Humira shot 2 days ago. Today I woke up feeling very achy, my nose is stuffy and my throat is scratchy. I don't know if it'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.

as it gives me much relief and even raises my energy level. My Part D program does not pay for the high cost biologics that are on the market such as Humira and Embrel.

s called Humira. My doctor put me on it and though I had no bad reactions to the medicine my body did not respond to it either. I had surgery in April 2008 and they removed 15 inches of my intestines. I have been feeling great ever since. I am NOT saying surgery is the only way to feel better. I put off surgery for as long as I possibly could and really believe it should be a last resort. I have heard of people who have responded well to Humira and hopefully you will be one of those cases.

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 gastro is going to start me on Humira and my question is, does Humira aid with digestion and stop the diarrhea. Thanks!

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 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.

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?

I know it seems like forever but after 8+ weeks on the Humira, my pain is only present when using the bathroom. I also do acupuncture and when I was at my worst I was doing it 3x's a week. Maybe give that a whirl! Best of luck.

I changed to Humira recently and was wondering if anybody has had success with humira who has ankylosing spondylitis. Any feedback would be appreciated.

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?

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 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.

Hi I know this post is old but I have to tell u that I took humira for one year. I was told by my doctor that side effects are rare bc I was concerned bc many people have had dangerous reactions from it. I took it and it helped almost immediately and was able to walk without a cane. The fatigue from arthritis was gone. Fast forward six months and I became ill....very ill. I contracted klebsiella bacterium and resulted in severe pneumonia.

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.

MTX was stopped in Jan 2011 and Imuran started, but my arthritis persisted so I was put on Humira in mid April 2011. My current Rheumy switched my diagnosis to undifferentiated arthritis with high suspicion for SLE or seronegative RA.

I now wonder what would have happened if she had pulled me off of the Humira at my first mention of symptoms instead of letting me take another month's worth of shots. My question, after all of my rambling, is if my problem is caused by the Humira and it is just MS like symptoms, what is the likelihood they will go away? Are there any steps I can take to help them go away? Because I haven't been to work in about 4 days now.

I'm 33 and have psoriatic arthritis and was recently started on Humira. Within a day of starting I had pain in my fingers, toes, shines and forearms (none of which I had before). Has anyone else experienced new joint pain after starting Humira?

it has done wonders for my RA not at this cost. my finger tips fell tingly my clafs there is a pain in my butt that runs down my leg.

I am trying to find out if i were to get herpes would I not be able to fight them off because of my Humira. And would it put me in a higher category to get them when my immune system is suppressed.
