Reviews for Humira to treat Psoriatic Arthritis

Was using HumiraPen for a few years. At first I was thrilled because it cleared up the psoriasis almost overnight. Made everything else more bearable within reason except for Lupus and Fibromyalgia. But ... in 12/08 I had a small boil that was handled as needed. One week later I was found unconscious and in septic shock. That boil blew a 4 inch hole in my side. Hospital records talked of Necrotizing Faciitis/MRSA ! My rheumatologist told me that the Humira suppressed my system so much that I had no warning of such a severe infection. I had no inflammation, fever or symptoms of any kind. BE CAREFUL...watch for the smallest skin lesion.

Experienced allergy symptoms from this (itchy eyes, sinus pain/running nose, etc.). Also had what the doctor called an allergic reaction to the shot on my leg. Started swelling up, and got bigger than the palm of my hand. Red, horrible looking, and it hurt to touch.

This drug is worth every penny for those of us who have endured shear pain for years. I feel like a human being and not a test rat for goodness knows how many medications that could just as well have been a placebo.

On Humira for two years now and what a difference it has made. I am no longer using a cane to walk and psoriasis is under control. Still some problems with my hands but I can do Yoga and hike again.

13 INJECTIONS SO FAR, my blood work looks better on some of my visits. I have allergy like symptoms continually which are nuisance, runny nose, itchy eyes, etc. I am sitting here in pain, and fibromyalgia aggravates everything. I wish something would make me feel better completely.
