Humira and peripheral neuropathy

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr profile image

Has anyone developed peripheral neuropathy since being on Humira? I've had a huge number of blood tests - all normal, including B12, and I read that sometimes Humira can cause this condition. Would love to hear of anyone else's experience of this.

I have peripheral neuropathy from etanercept. My first injection caused burning in legs and feet. Was told not a side effect .During covid was told to stop it as it had spread to my hands . I have other Biologics that caused it be aggravated. I don’t get it with Jaks. My new rheumatologist said he wasn’t surprised as I’m sero-negative and don’t have the antibodies and Jaks will always be my meds.

If you get unusual side effects please yellow card it.
