Angry Humria, Remicade, Enbrel, TNF Inhibitors

My husband took Remicade, Enbrel, and Humria for RA for four years and was diagnosed with Non Hodgkin’s Mantle Cell Lymphoma on March 8, 2007. He began taking the drugs in 2002, before Johnson and Johnson, i.e. Centocor, Abbott, and Amgen/Wyeth announced that TNF Inhibitors could cause Lymphoma. Upon diagnosis, my husband was given 6 to 8 months to live; however, he had a Stem Cell Transplant on August 27, 2007, at Wake Forest Medical Center, Winston-Salem, NC. Our family and especially my husband have been and are still going through a nightmare over these drugs. All RA victims need to be aware of what these TNF Inhibitors can do to them. My husband should not be going through this. Doctors should not be prescribing these drugs to RA victims.

The drug companies and the FDA, need to stop the sell of these drugs? Through our experience with these drugs, we have learned that if someone is a victim of deadly Lymphoma from taking these drugs, there is no recourse. Doctors won’t help because the drug companies treat them to luxurious trips and vacations so the doctors will prescribe the drugs to patients. Furthermore, hospitals won’t help because these drug companies are benefactors on building and equipment projects for the hospitals. Therefore, families just continue to suffer over the results of these drugs. However, we do have an attorney who is looking into my husband's situation because his RA doctor says that Humria caused the Lymphoma. This doctor has treated him for over 12 years and he never had problems until he took the TNF Inhibitors. We know these drugs caused this deadly Lymphoma in my husband. He and his sister are within one year in age, they both have the same genes and the same degree of RA. He was treated with these three drugs and his sister wasn’t treated with the drugs. He has Non-Hodgkin’s Mantle Cell Lymphoma and his sister doesn’t have it. Unique case, proof that the drugs caused the Lymphoma in my husband. Furthermore, as I stated, he never had any problems with Lymphoma until he took the Humria.

Ask your loved ones if they want to risk their life by taking these drugs. Remicade, Enbrel, and Humria are KILLER drugs. This is not fiction; this is a man’s life. One life is One too many.

Furthermore, our attorney, through his research, found out that the drug companies are trying to get a Bill passed in Congress where victims of deadly drugs cannot sue the drug companies if the FDA approved the drugs. Contact your Senators, Congressman, Representatives, the President and who ever you have to contact to prevent any Bills like this from being passed. Drug companies should have to pay when they make drugs that kill people. My husband took these TNF Inhibitors to help relieve arthritis pain and to help prevent his joints from deteriorating. The RA doctor put him on these drugs in good faith, trusting the drug companies. My husband took these drugs in good faith, trusting the drug companies because there were not warnings until after October 2004 about the drugs causing this deadly Lymphoma. Now, my husband is facing death over his trust in Johnson and Johnson, i.e. Centocor, Abbott, and Amgen/Wyeth. If you would like more information about my husband's situation, please feel free to contact us through this website. Also, think seriously before you allow a doctor to put you on either of these drugs.

Default Remicade

I am very sorry to hear about your husband. I to have had a very bad experience with Remicade. I had been on it for 2 years and was diagnosed with Lupus. I was not aware that remicade had this side effect. If you read in the litature give it was the last possible adverse effect printed and it was in such small print I had to use a magnifying glass to read it.
