headaches

[Jfw24]

I’m on Adalimumab, every morning I wake up with a headache, is this usual when taking this medication?

[Potatos]

I've never had this.

No, nor have I

I started the injections 8 weeks ago and have had a headache ever since I started. Especially the first week after doing the injection. I hardly ever had a headache before.

No, I can't see why that would happen. Talk to your rheumy team about it.

Could it be postural - the way you sleep with your head on the pillow? Are you sleeping better since on adalumimab? Does it vary - worse when you've just had the injection and less towards when you are due for the next (which might indicate more relationship with the actual medication).

Totally sleep better, I never wake up now 😊 just have such a thick head in the morning 😐

it certainly didn’t happen to me -sorry, was ages ago - what does the data sheet say?

I don’t get headaches. But I don’t think it is effective for me to joints still very painful. Been on it since November. Think I’m going to ask for review. I know it’s very effective for some people.
