r/Humira

Hi guys

I am 26/F. Got diagnosed with spondyloarthritis in April and started on adalimumab. It initially crushed my soul but now it literally gave me my life back.

I had no idea the amount of brain fog and pain I was under all these years. MRI says chronic sacroiliitis, it is visible on xray and the Arthropathy had given me two disc bulges, so you can imagine. I still have pain, stiffness and at times swelling over my fingers in the morning which are much much tolerable than the kind of hell I used to be in earlier.

Today i got my rheumat visit and he suggested that i continue 4 more doses of adalimumab and switch to tablets

Now this is making me anxious because I literally started feeling normal just two weeks prior. I’m really scared because idk how it’ll go on and if it’ll hit me like a truck or what. I couldn’t take methotrexate because I was intolerant to it. I’m very very anxious because I’m scared of going back into the worst phase of my life again. The past few months were the darkest, trust me. I was breaking down everyday and was getting suicidal because of the pain. I’m normally a very joyful person, but this changed me a lot.

So today when he mentioned that, I froze. I’m really scared

I want to know if someone has done that or if it’s advisable to even do that or I shouldn’t listen to him
I really want someone to help me out

I have been on my HS journey for so long that I took Humira for years, but when their patent expired a few years ago I have had to jump around multiple different bio similars.

I then was switched to AMJEVITA which I liked and the forced to take Adalimumab-fkjp (Hulio). I didn’t feel like it was working. Now I am being forced to take Hyrimoz (adalimumab-adaz).

1. If you switched to Hyrimoz did you like it? Do you feel like it helped? Was it the same as Humira?

2. Is the pen one where you press a button or you have to just press the whole pen down to activate.

3. Any other weird side effects?

I am so bummed that they keep tossing me around to different biosimilars just for them to save some money. I just want to stay with my Humira or AMJEVITA.

Hi. This is so frustrating, I've travelled and due to delays I got late and was out with my bio similar injector. It may have flirted or went slightly above the 25°C / 77°F threshold. Of course I forgot to take my prescription paper since it's a 3-day trip...

I'll phone the lab to know whether it's still safe to use, but to be fair, I don't even want to risk it. I've found a drugstore that is part of the same network as my usual, maybe they'll be able to do something for me since they have access to the scanned prescription paper.

If they can't, I'll have to take humira on Thursday instead of Tuesday which worries me because I'm not entirely used to the medication and my body has been aching since yesterday.

I'll also invest in a high quality cooling bag for my meds because the one I used was simply not good enough. I also hope it won't affect long term drug efficiency.

Edit - Just called the lab and they told me to scrap it. I'll have to take it 3 days later than usual, I'm scared it stops working... I've taken ketoprofen against the rising pain.

Tonight was my first dose. I've been prescribed to take it every 2 weeks. I was so nervous, but it was not painful at all. I chose my belly for the site. Easy peasy. I take B12 shots and they're not preloaded, and hurt a lot more.

Anyway, I've heard of the Humira hangover... how quickly does it kick in and how long does it last (for most)?

I took it a little after 9pm, and by 945pm I was feeling really drowsy, and now have a wicked headache. Going to bed soon.

I timed it for the Fridays my older kiddos go to their Dad's, so it's a little less for me to do.

Any suggestions to help keep myself going?

How quickly did you notice a difference? I'm taking it for arthritis caused by HLA-B27. I'm 39, and suddenly a year ago I had a couple joints swell up and never go back down. Now I have a lot of joints swollen and painful. It's especially difficult when I get up in the morning, because of my feet.

My doctor is out due to a family emergency, so I thought I would ask for opinions here.

I have taken two doses of Humira; 7/19 and 8/2. I have a rash at the injection site for both shots. The second one is much larger and itches. I feel fine, other than very tired.

I don't know whether I should take my third shot if the reactions are still present.

Your thoughts will be appreciated!

I've been taking Humira for about 10 years now and I think it stopped working. My uveitis is coming back every 2 weesk for the last year or so. I've been also taking Decotin for a short while and it helped but it came back after i stopped using it. They have decided to up my dosage to 80mg every two weeks 3 months ago but my Uvitis still activated. I'm scared now what my options are and how I will feel on them. I'm 25 also. Anyone in similar situation has any advice? I'm also a designer so I'm really scared fir my vision in the future.

Wondering if anyone had experience of going off Humira and back on it and it working? I took Humira about 12+ years ago and stopped it mostly because I hated the injections. My doctor said I could try it again.
