Hi i had really good result with humira !! It stings if you don't take it out of the fridge maybe half hour before , and I was always tired the next day . But good stuff and a good educational back up from the company available .

I've had a positive response to humira. Apart from being a bit more tired post-injection, I don't have any side effects. Like allanah said, it used to sting but since they changed the pen, I don't feel a thing. It's great, I can't complain. I'm very satisfied and wish you lots of luck.

Hi- I've been on Humira since April-- I take mine out of the fridge 24 hours prior to injecting, as advised by Humira nurse. I've had no side effects but it doesn't control the disease as well as mthx did. 😊

Does it stop the pain ? I tried Mtx both the pills & injections but I was violently sick & diahorrea for days. I was ill on a holiday abroad. Then tried Sulfasaline & the same happened & I had to cancel a weekend in London & couldnt get my money back. Im fed up of this illness controlling my life.

Thanks for your reply. x

I started Humira 3 months ago. I feel completely normal again. No stiffness or swelling and pain has gone apart from the odd twinge. I haven't had any side effects from it. Bloods and inflammatory markers are within normal range for the first time in 2 years.

I continue on Methotrexate 17.5mg. But no longer need Paracetamol or ibuprofen.

It's wonderful 😀. Long may it last! I hope you get the same results 👍🏻 Good luck.

Thats wonderful so glad to hear that. I dont take mthx as I cant tolerate it so Im hoping Humira will work on its own & I can stop taking Gabapentin Paracetmol Tramadol Lansaprazodol. But just to be out of pain would be great. X
