Hi. I've had 7 humira injections so far. 5 were fine and working well. I have them every 14 days. No. 6 the skin reaction was vile at injection site. Bright red hot inflamed about 5 x 3 injections. No 7 did the same. Now I'm itching all over my body with red rash that's an allergic reaction apparently. Rheumy emailed me and said I might need steroids... Anyone else in this position. I'm awaiting surgery so concerned at steroids.... All comments welcomed. I already take daily anti histamine.

Allergic rash from humira
Morning just to let you know I had the same I itched from head to foot with hive looking rash . I saw my gp who advised me to cover myself with antihistamine cream . Eventually it cleared but I am now super allergic to so much now . I have been given a antihistamine that you can only get on prescription that seems to have helped . I had to weight up the itch to the pain and stiffness . Pain won . The other side effects I got was and still have slightly is a awful headache after injections . Please talk to your doctor wishing you well 💐🤗
Hi Hattie23 Sorry to hear that you are having so much discomfort with Humira and I hope that you will get some relief soon. Personally, I have never had any problems/reactions to Humira in the 13 years I have been on it so I cannot give any advice but to seek help. Hope all goes well with the surgeon.
