Welcome! I was on Humira for a bit as well. It was nice being able to inject medicine and know I could absorb it despite my irritable gut!

I was on humira for about 3 months but it wasn t helping with the flare up of skin and eye problems so rheumy started me on daily injections of anakinra. I didn t mind doing the humira as it was in pen form but these are syringes and are very painful! But if it can control my flared it's a small price to pay. Glad the humira is working for you.

Have you had any relief yet?

[Alex97 in reply to Stm252]

Not really seen any benefits as yet. Had another flare in eyes last week so it's been hospital appoints all weeks and having more amniotic membranes put into eyrs tomorrow. They want me to continue on the anakinra as they Don t think it has had a chance to work yet. Thank you for asking, hope you are well.

I've been on Humira for 10 months and it definitely has helped to reduce flare ups and control symptoms. But like you I get terrible headaches and sinus pain! It's still worth taking though.
