Adalimumab "I have been on Humira less than a year. After the second injection, that evening I ended up getting horribly sick with a sinus infection. They ran everything from flu to COVID 2x and all came back negative. Couldn’t shake a low-grade fever. Then a derecho blew through and took out the power and I lost my next dose. Couldn’t get ahold of my doctor to see what they wanted me to do about the injection, but no response, so I stopped. I felt worse but better at the same time. Started Humira back up again and now I have been experiencing numbness, tingling, and swelling from my elbow down. I can’t grip things correctly due to the loss of correct sensations. I can hardly sleep, no NSAID seems to help. Not sure what to do because the feeling started on one side over a week ago and they only upped my steroid to help for a short time. Now I’m feeling it all on both sides. Help me!"

Adalimumab "I took my first dose of Humira (injectable pen), and one week later I have a terrible itchy rash all over my body. I went to my doctor and am waiting on biopsy results. Since I had the rash, I got a steroid injection, which hasn’t touched the rash, and in fact, it’s spreading even more. No one can seem to tell me if this is Humira, but I’ve never had a rash like this before and nothing else in my life has changed."

Adalimumab "13 injections so far, my blood work looks better on some of my visits. I have allergy-like symptoms continually, which are a 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."

Adalimumab "Humira has never helped reduce internal pain from psoriatic arthritis. And it is now not helping psoriasis either. It has reduced my sleep to 1 1/2 hours at a time. I have no use for this drug and will be asking for a change tomorrow. I am so tired and hurting."

"I had a terrible exacerbation of my psoriatic arthritis a year ago despite taking methotrexate. I was assessed for adalimumab and began treatment 8 months ago. I'm happy taking it. My nights are now pain-free, and my joints feel more normal, still swollen but not as stiff. It's a painful injection but only lasts a few minutes at the injection site. I inject every 14 days. So far, I haven't had any infections, but I keep away from crowds and am careful."

Adalimumab "After suffering for 2 years with unexplained joint swelling and pain, and while being treated for RA with no results, Humira changed my life. My rheumatologist gave me a sample on a Monday to inject, and by Tuesday evening, all my pain was gone. A 36-hour turnaround that has been working now for 3 years. Now, with citrate-free, there is absolutely ZERO discomfort. To the point where I question if there is anything in the syringe."

Adalimumab "I did my first infusion, and one week later, started itching everywhere. I had a skin biopsy that confirmed a drug-induced allergy. I've been on high doses of steroids to counter the reaction. I'm miserable. And since Humira stays in your system for up to 100 days, this is going to be a fun time. Never ever again."

Adalimumab "I was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis (PA) and was put on methotrexate first, but it didn't work. I was prescribed Humira, and within a few days, I was virtually pain-free and my skin started clearing up too. I’ve been on this medication for more than 6 years, and I am able to work long hours at work and exercise. I feel better at 45 than I did at 35. I have had 2 chest infections over the years I’ve been on Humira, but they were managed with antibiotics."

Adalimumab "I have had psoriasis since I was a young teenager and started getting sore/stiff joints in my late 20s, around the same time the psoriasis got significantly worse (covering a lot of my hands/fingers). The Humira didn't really help my psoriasis plaques, however, it was great for my joints. I noticed no more pain and stiffness in my joints, which was really noticeable when I stopped taking it for a couple of weeks before taking my next medication, Tremfya."

Adalimumab "Aside from arthritic pain, I haven't been sick, so much as a cold in about 10 years. At 43 years old, I took Humira for 4 months and ended up in the emergency room with shingles on my face that almost took my right eye. Now I have most of the right side of my face scarred with half an eyebrow. Thanks, Humira."

Adalimumab "Diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis in 2015, psoriatic arthritis a few months ago. I'm 35 years old, and I am desperate for something to work. I've had 3 injections (one per fortnight) and haven't had any relief at all yet. Psoriasis, dermatitis, and eczema all coexisting, and it's a shame the PSA means I can't scratch myself. I really want to be able to come back later and say this has saved my life. No side effects, though, which is a positive!"

Adalimumab "I was put on Humira for my psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis 7 months ago. Since using this medicine, my psoriasis has been worse than it has been in years. It has had the opposite effect on me. I still have the pain of psoriatic arthritis. The doctor and I are working on finding me another treatment."

Adalimumab "I was on the med about a year and a half ago. I loved it - cleared everything up! I felt good and confident! I did, however, get in a car crash shortly after the medication was kicking in. That being said, I was given medication to bring down inflammation and pain in my freshly injured spine, hip, and pelvic bone. When it came time for me to do my injections, the pain pills I was on interfered with my injections, and I started getting a large swollen circle around the injection site. My dermatologist quickly pulled me off of it, and it's all come back 10x worse. I remember waking up every day more disappointed and angry because having this disease is already obnoxiously itchy and painful, but going from having nothing to a big breakout makes you go crazy, and it felt worse than ever. I guess I was too used to having a good thing."

Adalimumab "I have been taking Humira for almost 3 years with a lot of success, but a fair amount of side effects to go with it, the worst being gut problems with everything I eat, severe bloating and pain. I take 40mg every 2 weeks. As I have other side effects I am reviewing whether to continue on this medication."

Adalimumab "Quality-of-life saving medication. Well-tolerated. Improvement with each dose until back to normal again. Can tell the difference if dose is missed by a week or two by having a resurgence of symptoms. Humira does its job if I do mine by taking it. Excellent product for me!"

Adalimumab "Taking biweekly auto-injection, for nearly 2 years. I am a white male over 55. Cleared skin over 90% within months. Arthritis joint pain and swelling reduced over the mid-90s, sometimes joints do get sore but do not affect mobility. Nor do I take NSAIDs for it."

Adalimumab "I was on Humira for 8 years, which worked well for me until, out of nowhere, I had a full-blown stroke. I had test after test, and the doctors could not find the reason why. I believe it was caused by the Humira. Never again!"

"Before: Psoriasis plaques were bleeding wounds, and pain/itching were disabling. Arthritis in fingers, which were painful, hot, and swollen. After: 2 months after treatment, my psoriasis plaques are just dark areas, fingers pain-free and normal. I radically improved in the first 30 days of treatment."
