I've been on Humira for about 4 months now with remarkable success. I have no pain or swelling. I've been sick more than usual this winter, but I'm not sure that's due to the drug The only problem is severe hair loss
Has anyone had hair loss while taking Humira?

I have been on Humira for 2 years now. Definitely no hair loss. You should list all the medications you are taking, from all the doctors you may be seeing and go over them with your Rheumatologist.
He or she would be the best person to determine if there is some contra-indication with Humira and any other med you may be taking.
Good luck.

You should actually do that every time you visit the doctor.

God, please no more hair loss. This is the first I have heard of the bruising from Humira as I was putting the bruising on the Plavix.

My husband gives me my Humira shot every other week. Most of the time, things go okay with just a little burning and aching around the injection site. But about once every two months, I guess he hits a vein or something... and WOW... it hurts, and I wear a black bruise on my thigh the size of my hand for a few weeks.

I have been on Humira for about 2 1/2 months, it has been amazing i'm 80% cleared of psoriasis and 75% of pain, most of my pain is my sacroiliac joints. I haven't had any hair loss , just alittle nausea and bruising, has anyone heard of anyone getting leukemia or lymphoma?

I checked, and hair loss is not listed as a side effect of this medication.
Do contact your Dr. on Monday and let him / her know what you are experiencing.
