User Reviews for Humira subcutaneous

I was on methotrexate and it quit working for me. I tried Embrel which still left me with swollen elbows but bette than the methotrexate at that point. I was frightened from the reviews on Embrel. My doctor recommended Humira and at first it was like a miracle. No joint pain for two years. I only took a shot every six to eight weeks. (40MG) For some reason it seems to have lost its effectiveness. Beginning in June 2017 I started having symtpoms I di dnot have previously. neck, fingers, wrists, toes, knees. Has anyone experienced this? I researched if the product had changed its chemical composition;all I could find is that they changed the sting factor of the shot. Has that made a difference or did my body become immune to it.I am now doing shots every two weeks and still having pain. Has anyone had a similar experience.

I used enbrel for years I thought it worked humiria is the best. It cleared my psoriasis up in quick fashion. And my joint pain is completely gone, thank you

The cost is outrageous. With insurance and the humira copay it still ran 500 a month.

Shot is very painful. Very weak next 5 days. Bloody stools after injection.

Humira shots are randomly very painful. (Lack of quality control?). I switch to cosentyx for other reasons and I can feel absolutely no pain at all with Cosentyx injections.

I have severe psoriasis, 85% of my body is covered. After the first injection I started seeing results! Which is amazing! After the 2nd injection, my shoulders were extremely painful and my arms and hands were both tingling and numb. I notified my dr right away, she said it was a side effect but I would get use to it. After my 3rd injections things got worse, after the 4th injection, my back started having severe pain and my legs went numb on the tops down to my knee. Needless to say, I called my family dr and she said it was a serious side effect from the humira and she stopped it right away. Now Iâ??ve been off of it and Iâ??m still have severe numbness and tingling in my arms and legs and now I have to see a specialist. I donâ??t recommend this medicine for anyone. The side effects are really not worth it. Read More Read Less

After having an allergic reaction to Remicaid I was started on Humira and Imuran. Fairly quickly after my initial injection doses I felt 100% better than I had for a long time. I took myself off Imuran shortly after with liver risks. Humira has been a miracle for me. The drug has kept me in remission for 5 years now and given me my life back!

I had results in 2 weeks after starting Humira biweekly. My right knee, right elbow and right ankle were all swollen and painful, my elbow was locked temporarily. I was on triple therapy along with prednisone and MTX. I came off the steroid in a year and I had to stop taking Humira because into the 9th month I developed tingling and burning sensation under my toes and feet. It started occasionally then by 3 months it was already every day for 2 weeks or so and I stopped. My rheumatologist kept saying Humira wouldn't do that. I think my RA did it too. Just a reaction to a biologic but a year later I had a flare and took a sample of Orencia inj and 4 days later the same reaction happened and lasted 6-8 hours. My new doc says this biologic works a different way than Humira so they can't all give me the same reaction-it must be my RA. So, I'm going to try Actemra next. However, I take 6,000 IU-10,000 IU Vit D3 daily. I take fish oils, eat fatty fish, prune & cranberry juice, turmeric, gluten free bread, no soy, no eggs, (my snacks have trace amounts), no milk except I eat yogurt, and take a probiotic daily. This all helps me so I'm only on MTX 20 mg and prednisone 5 mg now from a flare up 2 months ago, made it through with better dieting. Sirloin steak grilled medium helps me too, 1x a week. It's like a miracle food and I really enjoy it a lot from my fave place. Treat yourself-I eat dark choc but in small amts as MTX is negated by caffeine esp within FIRST 2 DAYS OF TAKING IT. Apple cider vinegar with honey in water, cayenne and pink himalayan salt and lemon juice helped heal my dad's swollen knee and he doesn't have RA, just getting old... he said he never took the meds but drinks this every day. I don't like the taste of it but you should try it if you think it's good for you. Anyway, I'm not going to take my Actemra until my RA becomes more active. I'll tell my doc about this and just know RA is like a baby- when it's asleep, just let it sleep naked. Read More Read Less

Wonderful miracle drug! After just a couple months I was 100% clear and it was running my life with itching and skin everywhere. No more, I'm feeling great. Only side effect was a bit of fatigue and a little "fuzzy" head but feel great now. Would highly recommend!!

was hospitalized twice with skin infection 5 days after injecting.

Humira did not help manage my Crohn's Disease at all. In addition, I maintained my healthy lifestyle

The pen for Enbrel seems to be better made as the needle does not 'jump around' when injected. The Enbrel pen also gives a clearer indication that all the medicine has gone into the body. ...THE Humira pen seems flimsy, Not firm like the Enbrel pen, and it does not "click" to indicate that the full dose had been injected. Why can't they make the Humira pen (needle) more stable and have it 'click' when all the med has been injected. Like the Enbrel pen? After all it seems to be made by the same company...Read More Read Less

I can move! no more ice picks in my shoulders and feet. seems to do something to the bladder, pee a lot and sometimes painful. Not sure if its from Humira or the methotrexate? or just getting older?. all in all, its good. stay away from sick people though, you will get sick more often and more severe.

Humira was given to me to treat my stage 2 AS, fibro, and neuropathy. I had reservations but tried it any way. After trying humira I was absolutely miserable by day two. I had increased pain in every joint, stomach pain and flu like symptoms. It was only afterwards I learned I should not have been given the medication due to my families history of lymphoma. Beware, this medicine will make your pain worse with AS. It may be good for skin problems, but it's no miracle cure.

I was almost totally immobile because of rheumatoid arthritis symtoms-listless, painful joints, difficulty moving while on my initial dosage of prednisone and methotrexate. Within days of starting Humira my symptoms greatly improved and almost totally disappeared. I've taken Humira ever other week for almost two years and I've resumed playing tennis a couple times a week-I'm completely satisfied and very thankful for the effectiveness of Humira in controlling rheumatoid symptoms in my case.

Humira caused return of severe Migraine headaches with acute aura (visual disturbance), tinnitus, and parathesias in my face and limbs. Symptoms appeared a few days after the second 40mg injection. I developed a rash resembling Redman Syndrome, which is caused by an excessive release of histamine into the system. I had been on Enbrel for 9 years with excellent control of my RA and freedom from Migraine symptoms. My insurance required me to do a Humira trial.

Made me profoundly tired, gave me a strange rash on arms and face, fever, nausea. Only wanted to sleep for a full week after injecting, so this left me feeling awful half of the time because I was taking it every other week. I have a life to live. I'd rather be crippled and old than effectively crippled while young.

After 1 month of shots sooooo many side effects. Shortness of breath, Breast tenderness, Ovaries felt like they could explode. Chest pressure, Hives. I have been off it for over a month and still have side effects. I would NEVER take this med again.

This drug almost killed me. I developed a jaw bone infection that caused lesions in my brain in spine. Was diagnosed with MS because of the neurological issues. Six months later, the MS symptoms disappeared. Lost 100 pounds in a few months..only bright side. Do I recommend this drug? NO! If my daughter hadn't gotten me to the hospital, I would have died. Do I miss he benefits, yes....worth the risk, no.
