Advice on switching from Humira to RINVOQ

Hi all, I’ve been on Humira for almost 3 years now and it’s started to produce some significant side effects due to which 2 of my doctors have advised me to switch to RINVOQ. I would really appreciate hearing your experience on 2 questions I’m pondering:

  1. Are the side effects from Humira really side effects? Has anyone else started getting eczema, skin sensitivity, random rashes, tingling in hands and feet, sometimes numbness a few years into taking Humira?

  2. Has anyone actually successfully gone on RINVOQ without experiencing acne, fatigue, and other side effects?

I just don’t want to switch to a medication that’s 4x more expensive and potentially more harmful in the long run to clear up my skin, as important as that may be.

Thank you!
