Humira side effects?!

[Gobbozoid]

so as anyone who has read up any of my posts I’ve got frequent urination with blood and bladder pain.

Now I’ve been telling my rheumatologist every time I see him and he dismisses me with it’s not his area. But I’ve just went through the side effects of the biological I am on (there’s lots) but in the common ones is frequent urination, bladder pain and blood in urine. I’ve seen him at least 6 times over 3 years with this and what if it’s my meds? I’ve been on them for 15 years, but the last 3 I’ve had this issue. anyone else had these side effects with Humira? If so when did they start?

Apparently it can cause Megaloblastic anaemia

I just googled and found this but dont ask me what it is..........

Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors, also known as JAKi, are the latest class of synthetic (non-biologic) disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) that have been proven effective in the treatment of multiple forms of arthritis, including psoriatic arthritis (PsA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), and non-radiographic ...

Try looking it up ( Jak ) side effects and reviews of how effective they are.
