"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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!"

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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!"

"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."

"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!"

"Cleared my horrible skin from all my plaques and helps me in my everyday activities by reducing the inflammation of my joints. I could be without, that's a fact. Humira is a life changer for me."

"I think Humira works okay for psoriasis but almost nothing for arthritis. I had to go back to Enbrel so I can at least get to work. If you just have psoriasis, maybe it's okay."

"So far, this has been effective when used with methotrexate. No side effects, minimal skin outbreaks. Only somewhat effective for pain, but overall, very good."

"The medication works, but the spring-loaded horse tranquilizer-style delivery device is barbaric. I'd rather get a regular syringe and inject it myself than using their prefilled ones."

"I’ve had psoriasis since age 10-11 and psoriatic arthritis since I was 25. Been on every drug available, and they all failed, with some dramatic side effects too (methotrexate kicked my butt)."

"Humira worked great for me; however, 13 months later I started developing lupus symptoms and had to stop. I hope the new med is as good at controlling the condition, though."
