been taking this now for almost a year and in fairness it’s dampened down my RA apart from my knee with its OA
What I have noticed over time is a now very prone to “hives” and a raised light pink rash has settled on my left forearm… pics below.
Has anyone else noticed anything similar effects on their skin?
not on same meds BUT I did go thro a phase of this so my GP threw some antihistamines into the mix for it and now get less “hive “ days
I got hives on my legs in September having started amgevita in June. I wasn’t sure what had caused them tbh and neither was the consultant as I’d also recently started amlodipine for blood pressure! They have mostly gone after a short course of steroid cream now.
Hi, l didn’t develop any itchy rashes while on adalimumab, but did have similar symptoms while on etanercept which was then discontinued by my rheumatologist. Have a think about anything else you might have started taking about the same time as the rash started, even self medication over the counter. If not, then I think you really need to contact your rheumatologist or rheumatology nurse for advice and a review appointment.In the meantime you could try self medicating with an antihistamine tablet.
Many thanks… I’ve got a review in two weeks so will go through it with the rheumatologist then …. Tnx
I have been taking it for 18 months, but no hives to report
That’s great. Let us all know the outcome of your review.
