I'm on track to start humira in about two weeks. I've done a decent amount of research, especially about how it can affect my immune system, but I wanted to ask the folks who have actually tried it. What are some things they don't really tell you about? General advice is also very welcome, I'm still new to all of this
My co-pay card has run out of funds
I’m based in the U.S. and have been using Simlandi after my insurance (Anthem) stopped covering Humira. I’ve now been told that the co-pay card through the manufacturer has run out of funds. Do any of you have advice on how to continue with my medication without going broke?
I have been on Humira for the past year. For a while, it seemed to be helping the AS, and it cleared up my psoriatic arthritis. I also have had alopecia universalis and for the first time in over 20+ years, I am growing hair.
Lately, my RA has gotten worse - unbearable, and my psoriasis is back with a vengeance. I have also developed terrible neuropathy.
My rheumy wants to try a different med, but will only try things in a different class than Humira. So, my question is, what has worked for you? Humira is an adalimubab, so has anything else helped you?
Greetings. I’ve been on methotrexate for almost a year, and just had my second Humira dose last week. Yesterday I wasn’t feeling too great but thought maybe it was just the weather or that I did “too much” the day before. This morning I woke with a fever, sore throat, sore ears, and all that fun stuff.
What do y’all do to stay healthy while taking immunosuppressants? I currently take a multivitamin, vitamin D, and vitamin C. I drink tea with local honey nearly every night as well.
Do you feel Humira wear off after 2 weeks?
I’m due for my 2nd dose tomorrow, and I’ve been in a world of pain for the past 24 hours. Is that typical? Will I go through this every 2 weeks?
Quick history: After a lifetime of symptoms that I assumed were due to Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (originally dx’d 20 years ago/HEDS), I’ve just been dx’d with AS as well.
