User Reviews for Adalimumab

Humira (adalimumab): Excellent drug for me..My illness was mis-diagnosed thus when it came to use the meds for controlling the disease either had mild to severe allergic reaction, or broke thru the meds within a year 1/2..I am in 3rd stage RA..Drugs like humira were out of reach for those of us in the moderate to severe stage due to cost..Humira is my last resort..It helps me tremendously..

Humira (adalimumab): The medicine has given my mother a new lease on life. After trying many medicines, Humira has given her better mobility and alot of less pain [she refers to it as discomfort or stiffness] . Also, kudos to the company for recently my mother had trouble with the pharmacy and when she contacted the company they arranged for her to received it through a pharmacy in another town and delivered to her by UPS. They took care of everything for her. Thanks on her behalf.

Humira (adalimumab): The cost is the only reason I give it a 9 star instead of 10. I have been on Humira for about 2 months. The very next day after my first injection I could close my fingers for the first time in months, my knees bent better, and a knot on my hand disappeared. Talk about a surprise for me! I worry about long time effects of being on Humira but will figure that out later. I'm also on methotrexate and prednisone. I have recently quit Plaquenil and Celebrex.

Humira (adalimumab): It is the best drug. I have never been pain free like this. The cost is high, but I will figure that out. Thank you to whoever develped this drug. I am pain free.

Humira (adalimumab): I have suffered with Chronic Juvenile Rheumatoid arthritis since age of 2. I'm now 44. In the past 15 years I have been in severe pain. I have tried every drug under the sun, but since taking Humira I have not had to take my other Dmards; I feel great.

Humira (adalimumab): I have been taking Humira now for about 10 years. First started as study patient and still continue to take it. It has been great. Recently the cost has been the biggest concern. I have tried to take injections a month at a time rather then two weeks. I do not suggest this. Three weeks at a time seem to work great for me. After that the pain starts to return. I am currently researching other medicines so I can stop taking this. The cost is just too high for me. Currently the only long term affects I have noticed is shortness of breath, hair loss, occasional dizziness and fatigue/insomnia. I hope this review helps.

Humira (adalimumab): I have Juvenile Rheumatoid arthritis as well as uvitus as a result of the arthritis. I'm 13 years old and I've been using Humira for the past six months. I'm using Humira to try to control both the pain and the eye disease. This drug is pretty much the last option for me, and it is thankfully working. I hope that Humira will continue to work and that I won't have side effects like I did with just about everything else. I'm glad that something is finally working.

Humira (adalimumab): I have taken Humira for the past 3 years for Rheumatoid Arthritis and recently we discovered it is also useful for Crohn's disease (which I also have). It does work, but unfortunately I get recurrent sinus infections and have to stop taking the drug while on antibiotics. I have also had an accident at work and have had some surgeries. I've had to interrupt taking the drug due to the surgeries as well (bone fusions). It takes a couple of months to get in your system, but as soon as it does (if you can stay healthy and infection free) it is wonderful. My only concern is the cost and the long term side effects.

Humira (adalimumab): My wife just had her first shot today 2/26/2011 so we don't really have a rating yet. She was very nervous about how painful she heard it was but followed the advice of a pharmacist who told her to put an ice pack on the shot location for approximately 5 minutes before and after. It was great advice and worked well for the pain and also the bump she was told to expect. I checked the area about 10 minutes after it was all said and done and couldn't even see where the shot was given. She also read these comments and wanted to respond to the advice about letting the drug get to room temp. Her doctor said that it is extremely important to keep it cold because the proteins will separate, rendering the medicine useless. Hope this helps.

Humira (adalimumab): I've been taking Humiria for 2 months and for me it's a miracle drug.

Humira (adalimumab): I started using it on 02/02/09 on my b/day, not even a week ago. I feel pain free, first time in a very long time.

Humira (adalimumab): I think the shots are very painful, they sting, no matter how you inject it. Let it sit out for 20 minutes first, etc. Also- I liked the injectable pen better when I was using Enbrel. This needle is a real needle, no injectable pen. I feel it's harder to use on yourself that way.

Humira (adalimumab): My wife has had rheumatoid arthritis for the past 30 years. This is the only drug that treats the root cause and not the symptoms. In only a short time she has seen a remarkable improvement. In Canada you need to go thought a lengthy approval process to have this drug covered under insurance. It is expensive, but it works. Hopefully the cost will come down as it is proven out and more people start to use it.

Humira (adalimumab): I am on Humira for ten weeks now and notice a huge improvement in my energy levels. I just discovered today my blood pressure is high don't know if it's connected but never had a problem in the past. I think it's great I can now go for a decent walk without being in agony, am still worried about long term effects. The injection is nothing - always leave out for half an hour beforehand. I am one of the lucky ones as in Ireland the state covers most of cost for rheumatoid arthritis sufferers and I was only diagnosed about a year ago.

Humira (adalimumab): I have been on Humira for 2 and a half years. This stuff is a great medicine. Yep it stings for a minute or two, but seriously, are you really going to complain about that with all the relief it brings? Take the warning signs seriously and keep in touch with your doctor. And be thankful there is something that brings us not only relief, but slow down the damage to our joints.

Humira (adalimumab): I could not tell that Humira did a lot to improve my RA. It may have slowed the condition/symptoms down some, but in no way did it stop my condition. I realize Humira is not a cure, it just didn't do a lot for me. I had no obvious side effects though.

Humira (adalimumab): This is the second time I have started Humira (three weeks ago). It gave me great relief the first time around but I was forced to quit due to a change in insurance. In the four months I was off Humira my inflammation and pain accelerated. I worked with my Doctor, COBRA provider and Humira customer service to be reinstated. I have been on it now for a month one injection every two weeks. I find the auto injector easy to use and safer than a syringe. I have found that sinus infections can be reduced by the use of mupirocin ointment in my nostril once a day and by using the NeilMed sinus rinse every night.

Humira (adalimumab): I have been taking Humira for three months. In the beginning my pain worsened and I got one sinus infection after another. Now I seldom have infections, I think I am more careful.The pain in my hands and feet are much improved, and my elbows and shoulders are a little better. I also have Fibromyalgia so it's hard to distinguish what pain is from what. This week I am getting waves of dizziness that lasts for several hours at a time. I also have what feels like a tennis ball implanted in the back base of my skull. At least my hands and feet warm up quicker in the morning.

Humira (adalimumab): I have to take the injection once a week. This medication drastically changed my condition from bad to great in March 2004. I am stable most of the time and to consider what my life would be like. The progress of the damage is very slow and that I appreciate fact.

Humira (adalimumab): I have had rheumatoid arthritis for three years. It came on overnight and totally overwhelmed me in pain. Thanks to a great doctor I was immediately referred to a Rheumatolgist who started me on methotrexate(weekly), prednisone(daily) and Humira every two weeks. My doses of Prednisone was gradually reduced and I have now been off totally for 6 months. I went from 20mg of Methotrexate weekly to zero now. Humira is the only medicine being taken weekly and even though stiffness and swelling have returned to some degree I am still great compared to where I started. Side effects include higher liver enzymes and daily itching outbreaks. Otherwise, if I can remain at this level for another 30 yrs. I'll be fortunate.

Humira (adalimumab): I tried many drug combinations prior to using Humira, and nothing worked. After my second dose of Humira I noticed the inflammation subside and was virtually pain-free for the first time in years. Very little side effect most of the time, but did have much more occurrence of pharyngitis on this medicine.

Humira (adalimumab): I take Humira for rheumatoid arthritis and so far it's the only medicine that works for me. I've tried Plaquenil and methotrexate but they don't even touch the pain/swelling. I began to feel relief the morning after the first shot of Humira. Don't let the instructions scare you. The shot is not painful. I let it stand on the counter 15 minutes before I give it so it's not so cold. My Doctor suggested that I sit in a straight back chair so that the abdominal area is already pinched and you'll have both hands free, then pick a spot on my stomach that's 2 inches away from the navel and just do as the directions explain. You won't feel the needle, but the medication will burn just a little. I can't even say it hurts. Don't be afraid.

Humira (adalimumab): I have moderate to severe rheuamtoid and until I got on Humira I was unable to do much of anything. I was misdiagnosed for almost 2 years and since the first injection I've had great success.

adalimumab: I have been using Humira Pen for about 6 months, it is very easy and convenience to use. The cost is the only think I find crazy!!

adalimumab: I started using it on 02/02/09 on my birthday. I feel pain free, first time in a very long time.
