UTI

[Tillie20]

Hi Can anyone let me know if you are taking Humira have you had any urine infections I have been on it for almost 6 months and this is the 4th infection I have had, I do not want to have to change from Humira as I have had no problems with RA since I started has anyone had the same x

I don’t take Humira, but another biologic. However it is quite common to get increased number of infections on biologics. If you are new to UTIs do you know to follow the recommendations for avoiding them?

Hi Tillie, I got a nasty UTI almost straight away when I started the biosimilar Amgevita. Not had any since stopping that drug due to it not working for me anyway.

D-Mannose is good for prevention but so is drinking certain juices. The former is more expensive but also more effective and can also treat an infection of the UT.

Thank you for the reply I drink a lot of cranberry juice but antibiotics clear it up within days , I,don't want to stop Humira as the RA in under control cx

Hi tillie I was on humira for about 2 years and never had any problems with it but had to change to truxima as it stopped working for me and have had urine infections from this one it's so annoying I hope you get sorted as I thought humira was brilliant and didn't even have that many flare ups while I was on it

Please read my previous post about how D-mannose has cut down my 3 to 4 annual infections down to 0. Or go sweet-cures.com . Click on Bladder Health at the top of the page and then scroll down to the article called Using D-mannose for a Healthy Bladder. I followed the instructions there and now I just take one tablet morning and evening to keep me free of infection. It's one of the best things I've ever done for my health. My GP is impressed!
