User Reviews for Humira

Humira (adalimumab) for Psoriasis: Reading these reviews finds me nodding my head with approval. After years with plaque psoraisis, its over...at least for now. I did creams, Enbrel for 2 years, now Humira for about 6 months. Initially it worsened then got way better. Now, I have been off the Humira for over 3 months and nothing has come back. My skin is 99% better. I had over 50% coverage on my body and it was unsightly, painful, and nasty. Now it's all gone. At this point in time I have to say: this stuff is remarkable.

Humira (adalimumab) for Crohn's Disease, Maintenance: My name is Serena. I have had chron's disease for six years. I had surgery a year ago. I had a flare up a few weeks after surgery. My GI put me on humira and it has been a miracle drug for me! NO pain or flare ups. I get to lead a normal life :)

Humira (adalimumab) for Rheumatoid Arthritis: 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) for Psoriasis: I have tried all drugs out there,and almost gave up. Enbrel was good but I developed resistance after about 2 years of use. Humira showed a marked clearance of my severe psoriases within one month of use. I have never felt this good after 30 years of struggle. Administration of the injection is also convenient, once every other week.

Humira (adalimumab) for Rheumatoid Arthritis: 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) for Psoriasis: I have suffered with psoriasis for 15 years of my life and at it's worst point it covered 85% of my body. I've always had good luck with medication like clobetasol and talconex but it always came back - seemingly, with a vengence at times. It affected my self esteem, my confidence and absolutey affected me mentally. I went to my dermatologist after hearing about Humira and after going through all the testing and having it approved through my insurance, I gave myself my first two shots four days ago. My skin is almost completely cleared and the difference is remarkable. I recommend this drug to anyone who suffers - give it a try, you may love it. For the first time in 28 years, I feel like normal girl.

Humira (adalimumab) for Rheumatoid Arthritis: 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) for Rheumatoid Arthritis: 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) for Ankylosing Spondylitis: Being female with ankylosing spondylitis was rare enough, but the pain in my lower back was bad. Humira was started in Nov 07 and the pain felt in walking was taken care of. It has halted the progression of the ankylosing spondylitis in my lower back.

Humira (adalimumab) for Rheumatoid Arthritis: 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) for Rheumatoid Arthritis: 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) for Psoriasis: Better than Enbrel in my opinion. My condition after 3 months has markedly improved to, I'd say, 90% with one dose every other week. It has changed my life. As far as any side effects I have not experienced any after 6 months.

Humira (adalimumab) for Crohn's Disease: Have Crohn's for over 20 years, been on every drug available including Infliximab. Infliximab helped but affected the nerves in my legs and feet. Now on Humira for a year, at first the dose was one injection every two weeks which helped a bit. Now on 2 pens every 2 weeks with fantastic results. No signs of Crohn's now, only side effects are sneezing and runny nose. For me a wonderful drug.

Humira (adalimumab) for Rheumatoid Arthritis: 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) for Rheumatoid Arthritis: 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) for Psoriasis: My Dad has been suffering with Psoriasis for way too long. It's emotionally draining for him until we tried Humira. His skin improved within the first week of the injection. The complicated thing was waiting for his health insurance to approve and pay for it. Going through all the tests to make sure he's free of any infection before treatment can be started took awhile also. Overall, we are very happy with the results. We just hope that the price can be cheaper for people without health insurance.

Humira (adalimumab) for Crohn's Disease: I have been on Humira for over 1 year. I was originally on Entocort and Pentasa and it wasn't helping. My doctor suggested moving to Humira rather than more pills. I started feeling better just a few days after the initial dose. The injections do hurt, but for only about 10 seconds. Way better then being in constant pain! I was a little concerned about all the warnings, but I figure I am going to die someday so I might as well feel good. I have not had any side effects. I am so grateful for Humira!

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

Humira (adalimumab) for Rheumatoid Arthritis: 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) for Ankylosing Spondylitis: I have been suffering from ankylosing spondylitis for several years. My condition got so bad I couldn't walk, undress myself, get in or out of bed unaided and didn't sleep through the night without pain. Tried several drugs that had no effect and the joints in my back, ribs and pelvis continued to fuse. Then I started Humira 4 months ago and I haven't had a single bit of pain anywhere since. The only problem I have with it is the injection site is very swollen, hot and itchy and the drug itself can give you quite a sting but I can now lead a normal active life, so for me the side effects are well worth it but I am concerned about the long term effects of this drug.

Humira (adalimumab) for Psoriasis: After taking Humira for 2.5 months my hands look so much better.

Humira (adalimumab) for Psoriasis: I have been taking this drug for over 2 years. 4 days after each shot I have seen a difference. I believe in this shot combined with Kenalog spray for light areas and Taclonex ointment for the flaky areas. I believe anyone would be 80% cured after 6 months.

Humira (adalimumab) for Rheumatoid Arthritis: 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) for Rheumatoid Arthritis: 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.
