>>SUBMIT INFORMATION ABOUT A POTENTIAL HUMIRA INJURY<<

OVERVIEW: Humira (adalimumab) is a tumor necrosis factor blocker, also known as TNF blocker, which is approved for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, Crohn’s disease, moderate to severe chronic psoriasis and juvenile idiopathic arthritis, which was previously called juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.

HUMIRA NERVE DAMAGE AND VISION PROBLEMS Adverse event reports have suggested that Humira may increase the risk of nerve damage, which could cause:

  • Optic Neuritis or Vision Impairment
  • Multiple Sclerosis
  • Transverse Myelitis
  • Neuropathy

Lawsuits over Humira have alleged that Abbott downplayed the risk of nerve damage from Humira, including a risk of Central Nervous System (CNS) demyelination and harm to the optic nerve. While other drugs in the same class, such as Enbrel and Remicade, contain warnings about the risks, Abbott has not provided adequate warnings to physicians and consumers, which could have prevented serious injury and permanent nerve damage.

During clinical trials, at least three cases of demyelination with Humira use were reported, compared to no reported cases among those taking a placebo. Of those nerve damage problems, two involved optic neuritis on Humira, which could result in vision loss or sight problems.

In addition, an analysis of FDA adverse event reports during the first two years Humira was on the market identified at least 9 reports of neurological problems with Humira, including two cases of optic neuritis. Since that time, a number of similar Humira problems have been reported. It is widely accepted that the number of such problems reported to the FDA likely only represent between 1% and 10% of all actual adverse events.

HUMIRA CANCER SIDE EFFECTS: A study published in the May 17, 2006 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) indicated that Humira side effects could increase the risk of developing cancer. Warnings have been added to the prescribing information about the possible cancer risk.

In August 2009, the FDA announced a Humira black box cancer warning after investigating the potential association between Humira and Lymphoma and other cancers among children and young adults using TNF blockers.

Approximately half of the cancers seen in children and young adults taking TNF blockers were lymphomas, including bother Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, which is a cancer of cells in the immune system. Lymphoma is not a recognized complication of JIA (Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis) or of Crohn’s disease. Other cancers reported included leukemia, melanoma and solid organ cancers.

HUMIRA FUNGAL INFECTIONS: A number of users who were receiving TNF blockers, such as Humira, have experienced fungal infections, such as histoplasmosis, blastomycosis and cocciioidmycosis. In several of these cases the infection resulted in death.

In September 2008, the FDA issued an alert to healthcare providers to provide new information about the risk of Humira fungal infections. At that time the agency also indicated that new information will be added to the Humira black box warning to ensure that doctors and consumers are aware of the risk, especially for those who live in or visit areas where fungus is prevalent.

Unfortunately, many cases of fungal infections from Humira go undiagnosed by doctors, since the symptoms are similar to the flu. Symptoms could include cough, fever, fatigue, loss of weight, sweating and shortness of breath.

After taking humira, i was diagnosed with ALS, nystagmus, and a major lung infection i now believe these were all caused by this awful drug.
Brenda
This drug did way more bad than good for my mother. She suffered her last 10 years or more. She suffered from so many of those side effects. I always said her Doctors were all about the Kick backs.
Robin
I took Humira when I was first diagnosed with RA my second dose my left calf swole up. I called the doctor went in they did test for blood clot said oh it’s ok it’s not from humira. I had shortness of breath and now my vision is bad along with leaky vein in my Left leg.
Dolores
I would like to know is there anything I can have done
Elaine
I was on Humira for approximately a year and 4 months. My rheumatologist put me on it to help with autoimmune issues and listed that I have RA, but I don’t. I had reservations about taking it and could kick myself for not listening to my intuition. In Jan 2023, I started having new symptoms and worsening existing symptoms. New symptoms were numbness and tingling in my right leg, balance issues, clumsiness, forgetting conversations or where something happened, urinary retention, and tingling in my hands. Worsening symptoms were mild brain fog progressing to cognitive and language issues (not all the time, but enough to be concerning), chronic fatigue that became profound fatigue, urinary urgency and frequency that became much worse, and eye pain and redness from iritis that began to hurt even though I didn’t have active iritis. All in all, my body was a mess. I got a CT, which led me to getting MRIs. I had moderate white matter issues and a lesion. A lumbar puncture showed elevated IgG levels and protein in my CSF. My neurologist referred me to Cleveland Clinic and I have been told to discontinue Humira immediately. I had no idea Humira could cause this to happen. The past 8 months have been painful, scary, uncomfortable, stressful, and exhausting. What’s even more concerning and infuriating is that I was never warned and moreover, I should never have been put on Humira to begin with. I don’t have one single disease, syndrome, or disorder it treats. I hope more doctors will warn patients and they company will do a better job educating patients. Had I known, I could have stopped taken the medication in Jan when my symptoms started. Praying that everyone impacted by this overcomes the damage done.🫶
Monica
My husband has been on Humira for 2 yrs now and besides a few moles that have come and gone, he claims to feel so much better. He has suffered with Crohns for almost 20 yrs now.
Brittany
I took humira for 6 years and developed impetigo, then perioral dermatitis, then pink eye, recurrent colds and flus, molloscum contagiosum, and now potentially genital warts (I’ve been off the medication for 2.5 years.) These side effects are common my specialist said after I experienced the skin infections…not at all related to the primary reason for taking the medication. This is so frustrating that medication we trust our doctors to offer us can do more harm than good.
Tony
Started on remecade twice and my insurance wouldnt cover.Started humira and moved to enbrel,wasnt long and mass was cutting off my airway.It all happen so fast,was doing my first chemo within days.lymphoma and BIG PHARMA about took me out.Been in remission 5 years,and seem to be doing great with that.Problem now is I’m overlap,RA over Lupus,allergic to aspirin and NSAIDs.Im on medicaid which sucks,no pain meds.My treatment ever since has been prednisone,I take it for swelling and pain.
Ian
My uncle John died from this medication.
Julie
Humira killed my mom in 24 hours. My mom was perfectly healthy in her 80th birthday May 13, 2020. Two days later she was in pain and throwing up and the next morning she was gone. We never understood the severe dangers of this medicine. She was my best friend and we are all broken and in shock. This drug is deadly. Do not take it.
Bob
I am on Humira now.After reading this I will not take a shot today.I went to my eye doctor complaining about symptom seeing things.last July I thought I was going to die with coughing.Short of breath.I tell the doctors they say “they don’t think Humira has any thing to do with it”
Tammy
I was prescribed Humira for rheumatoid arthritis,I now have chronic myloid leaukemia and basal cell carcinoma.I am constantly sick and will be affected for the rest of my life.My life maybe short lived and my Doctor did not forewarn me of the possible side effects.Please reconsider your decision before starting this medication.
Chuwanna
I have been on Humira for 2 1/2 months. What seemed like a simple rash on my hands turned into my WHOLE entire body covered with red itchy burning rashes. Dermatologist prescribed medicine that my insurance has to authorize that takes 3 days which means I have to suffer for another week. And the cream costs $30. This is so unfair that my body has to go through this change for several months. It literally hurts to walk. Im just so effing pissed.
Deborah
I was on Humira for 5 years with great results until I had my first heart attack. My Cardiologist imediately took me off of it. Now at 49 I have had 5 heart attacks and quadruple bypass and my kidneys have started failing. No doubt related to tumors.
CJ
I have a woman from Humira coming out to my house tonight for a consult and to show me how to do the injections. I always believed that they send these so called…ambassadors out to cover their own butts once something goes wrong, as it will be these ambassadors who seem so caring that will be the first to throw us under the bus. Humira now sits in my fridge waiting for me to take my first dosage tonight and after reading so many horrific stories, I will not be taking it. So sorry for all of your struggles and losses yet so grateful for you sharing your stories. ~CJ
Tanya
I too started taking Humira in March of this year. I started at 4 shots the first week, 2 shots in week 3, and one shot every week thereafter. At the end of August, all of a sudden I began having hives. First a swollen tongue right out of the blue. I was referred to the allergist, and had a prick test done to see if I was allergic to anything. Nothing! 4 weeks later, I was back to see him with Chronic Urticaria with Angioedema (hives with severe swelling). No medicines, prescribed or over the counter are working, and now I have to have a monthly shot for this. I have also acquire pustular psoriasis on my hands and randomly on my body, as well as psoriasis on my legs. I have also been dealing with a strange pain in my neck for days as well. Humira is worse than the ailment one might have. I was a healthy woman at 42, and now I have spent the last 5 months hiding in my home in pain. Frustrating isn’t the word for us guinea pigs. I stopped taking the Humira, on my own advice. It’s been two weeks, and I’m wondering if I’ll get back to normal soon. How long does this crap stay in your system if you took it for 8 months at the max dosage?
Cheryl
I’ve been on Humira 40mg every 10 days and I feel better than I have since mid twenties. No side effects to speak of. Sometimes I take a wonderful 4 hour nap the day of or the day after injection. I have Ankylosing Spondylitis HLA-B27 type. This form is very rare in women.
Wayne
HUMIRA caused me to stay in Mercy Hospital for 62 days. The hospital is located in Bakersfield, California.It caused my kidneys to malfunction. It caused a hole in my right lower lung and scared my left lung It very difficult to breathe. I am crippled and unable to walk. Sleeping is very difficult because of the pain in my legs and lungs.There are more but my cognation is lacking a lot.I would very much like a feed back. I have been since 2006 of October
Sam
I took humira for three months first day four needles two weeks later two needles and every week one needle. Started in feb till end of April. Ended up with blisters all over my hands and feet and psoriasis over my legs feet arms. It gave me blister for psoriasis and server nerve damage to my hands and feet. 4 months later and tons of meds light therapy and 41 pecription creams it’s starting to get better but it keeps returning. The nerve pain has not improved. I never feel cold always hot. I contacted the company was told that now that I stopped the meds they don’t need to follow up with how I am doing. Humira dropped me the day I stopped taking the needles. My life has changed I get sick so fast my immune system sucks and my energy is gone. Expecting my first grandchild and I am scared that my health will keep me from being the grandparent I want to be. I have homecare 5 days a week and can’t even wash my own hair because my hands and nails are so infected with blisters that it’s to painful. Went from being totally independent to needing so much help. Wow one med changed my life to the point that sometimes I think that is it worth living like this. This med ruin my life.
Robert
I am 37 yrs old I was on humira for 6 months about 3 months in I started noticing bruising called my dermatologist to let him know he said it was ok keep taking it noticed some other things he said it’s ok keep taking it. July 6,2016 I was taken to hospital and put on psych ward the ER doctor said it was side affects of humira. I have many doctors stating that these are all side affects of humira I used to travel across the country for my job now I can’t even drive outside of my housing area most of the time without freaking out. I get anxiety and panic attacks which are severe blurred vision severe migraine headaches have a hard time trying to even look for a job. My mental state is not all that great I have been seeing a neurologist, psychiatrist, mental health counselor, and my primary regularly for over a year and still having many issues been off humira for over a year and is said this will pretty much be the rest of my life. I used to be a lineman if you don’t know what that is I used to work on high voltage power lines. I am trying to reach out to get some people together and get a lawyer to take on the case one in my city said they would like to take it but just doesn’t have the resources to do so. This is ruining my life, my marriage, and my family we can’t hardly pay our bills cause I can’t even work. If it affected you I would like to know please thank you. I don’t want this drug to ruin somebody else’s life like it did mine I am 37 yrs old I should be in my prime.
Jo
I have been taking Humira for the past 3 years. It has done nothing to help me. Now I am battling breast cancer. No family history of breast cancer. I have 3 sisters and none of them have any signs of cancer. I think it needs to be looked into. It is odd that there is no history and then boom, I have cancer. My life since Febuary has been a living Hell. I go in a couple of weeks for geneitc testing and will know for sure. I am not very happy right now and scared for my kids and I.
Sam
I took humira ended up with hand and feet nerve damage blisters all over hands and feet and psoriasis over the rest of my body. I am in so much pain I can’t walk or take care of myself. I now have home care coming to my house 6 days a week. I am 45 years old and can’t work.
rodney
I took humira back in 2006 or 2007 for crohns disease. I am now having vision problems that has started to impair my vision. Thank you
Momoko
I have RA and is currently on the traditional medications. My doctor suggested I take a biologic so that I could get off Prednisone (currently prescribed 4 mg, but was able to slowly go down to 2 mg). My insurance only approves Humira, and I have been going back and forth about doing this. Now that I have read all these horror stories, I am not going to take this medication. I believe you can control the inflammation through food. I noticed that I had a bad flare when I got the flu shot in 2012 and have not taken shot since then. It took 2 years to get back to normal with minimal pain. I believe that RA and other autoimmune are caused by viral, specifically in the class of Herpes (that includes Chicken Pox, Epstein Barr – kissing disease). I am trying to get rid of that as I have read that could be done – not sure if that’s true, but at least there’s no side effects trying natural remedies versus pharmaceutical. I might have to change doctors if she keeps recommending the Humira when I’m still functioning at 90%. Thank you all for your stories.
Linda
I have only had one injection but it knocked me out and I am not taking it anymore. Went to see my PCM and he said I only have minor inflammation not psoratic arthritis. I am going to get a second opinion from another rhemy. Just don’t feel right since he would not show me my XRAYS or go over my labs when I asked how bad it was he said I had minimal inflammation and was at the beginning stages then why would HUMIRA be the first drug I take.
wendel
I took humira for crohn’s for 14 months 40mg shots every two weeks then since blood work didn’t show humira in my system I was prescribed a shot every week. After that month my chest area was severely swollen and very painful. I went to Va. hospital in Sacramento and after CT scan showed about a dozen lymph nodes from golf ball size to tennis ball size they should be the size of a grain of rice. It was Hodgkin’s aggressive lymphoma cancer. I went through pure hell with this. I talked with Abbot labs they don’t care sited black box info. I have other problems related through chemo or Humira good news now cancer free. Would love to sue have lots of documentation. This drug should be off the market check out this site humira side effects.
Sally
Husband used Humira 2yrs then Enbrel over 1 yr. Slowly lost much weight, was getting black like blotches on arms, started just not feeling good, one day started running high fever, hard time breathing, got scared & called ambulance, he died that night. When on Humira he broke ankle, compound fracture. For 6 wks I fed him 35 grand, interveinious anti biotic. It took over yr. for skin to barely grow over the wound, and that was with mos. of wound vac. I watch that medicine slowly take him down but when it did, it was fast. Death certificate said sepsis shock. Where did this terrible infection that was in his blood come from and why did he have NO IMMUNE system to help fight it off. I need an attorney, running out of time And I forsee a Lot more of this to start surfacing after long term use, like the 4 yrs that my 40 yr husband took . it took my life from me as well. And this should not be. People shouldn’t be used as ginea pigs for drug companies , they get filthy rich and I got heartbroken & left alone. They need be responsible for they knew the side effects were bad or they wouldn’t advertise it while doctors are paid to say that it won’t hurt you, we’ve not had any problems with it. It’s all a scam!
Mike
I lost my wife Mary In November of 2014 She suffered From Radiation cystitis caused from cancer of her female Organs. She was on Enbrel for 2 years And Humera for 6 year’s. When the doctors discovered her cancer She immediately had a radical hysterectomy. Followed by Chemotherapy And Radiation. The radiation Is what took her life. It ruined all of her organs. She suffered for 7 years. Her small bowel intestine was severely damaged and had to be fed by TPN which is a tube in the carotid artery for two years. Her bladder And her liver And her colon Were all affected.She was 62 years old when she passed And before Enbrel and Humira She was a health nut But Rheumatoid arthritis Changed all of that And that’s when she began Infusions With those deadly drugs
Lisa
My husband started taking Humira for psoriatic arthritis. He took a total of three injections, one every 2 weeks. After the third injection, he began feeling extremely tired and slept for hours on end. We took him to the hospital for this and that he felt like he was going to die. After 2 separate visits to 2 separate hospitals and test after test, we ended up in a large hospital in the city. They finally did a spinal tap and found inflammation in his cerebellum and diagnosed him with Aseptic Meningitis and Encephalitis drug induced from humira. He has constant dizziness, blurred vision, speech problems, personality changes,Ataxia, poor balance and coordination. He is completely dependent for all activities of daily living. He is 53 years old. He has gone thru extensive therapy for 3 weeks and now at home. He sleeps most of the day due to the disease, we are unsure what damage is permanent but we never expected this from a drug after only 3 doses. I am now not working because I have to take care of him and he will not be working for quite sometime if ever.

Heather
I was on humira for 4 months. At 3 months I developed pustular psoriasis (which I never had before) all over my body. I was advised to continue taking it. The injections quit working all together after my 7th injection. My arthritis returned worse than ever.. In joints not previously affected (my knees were once the only problem, but now my fingers, wrists, elbows, knees, ankles, etc are chronically in pain and stiff). I also have spasms all down my esophagus that hurt like hellO and make eating difficult. It also has caused all over muscle pain and weakness. Humira is responsible and shouldn’t be prescribed to people. I’m now way worse than I had ever been before. This drug has been life changing, and not in a good way! I want to warn anyone considering it to think twice.. Your doctor will tell you some bs about it being the natural progression of the disease, but that’s a load of shi_!! Rheumatoid arthritis does not progress to esophageal spasms so severe u assume the fetal position and refuse to eat for days at a time, and it doesn’t make ur muscles so weak u can’t raise ur arms above ur head or take a shirt off. So eff u humira!!
Melissa
I once had a good friend the bed in the world. She had psoriasis and went to the doctor and they prescribed her she took it for 5 years and kept it under control today I have to say goodbye to my friend because 6 weeks ago her liver started to fail and tomorrow she will be buried rest in peace friend
Barbara
I was on Humira for Crohn’s for about 4 years. It certainly helped Crohn’s but some of the side effects were not good. Developed warts which popped up everywhere. Have had 5 skin cancers detected and removed. Developed shingles and it was a very bad case. Been off for two years and still having skin issues. Humira weakens your immune system and in turn you can develope various issues like I did. My shingles was so bad that I wanted to kill myself. Although Humira did not cause the shingles, my immune system was weak so I had an extra bad case. Wanted the shingles shot to help prevent another case but learned I had to be off Humira for 6 months before I could get shot. I went off the shot during the time of shingles outbreak because the doctors said it would worsen the shingles. After 6 months I got my shot and have chosen not to go back on Humira. It’s been two years and I am taking alternative medicine and I am much more careful about avoiding foods and stressful situations that might cause a flare up. Doctors warned me that I would have to do Humira again if these alternative medicines don’t work. I will fight the battle to avoid this. I am tired of having warts frozen, tired of Moh’s surgery for skin cancers. I do truly believe that continuous psychological analysis of one’s ailment plays a large role in keeping down flare ups in any illness. I personally play my own cheerleader in every waking moment of every day to create a positive attitude about my condition. This helps me a lot.
Brianne
I took Humira for about 5 months for plague psoriasis. I started having nerve pain and muscle spasms. My legs and arms give out all the time. Some days I can’t even walk. I just had an Emg done but no signs of nerve damage. I need someone to help me please. Tonight even when I could walk and stand I kept getting these horrible pains in my arms like someone was snapping my veins like rubber bands. My hands and feet claw and ball up. My doctor said just give it time and doesn’t think it’s from the medication he proscribed. I need help
mary

Ron
I am considering Humira for my colitis. I was surprised to hear that one shot of Humira would stay in your system for 5 months. I’ll need more information.

Humeria should be a (not responding to less side effects 1st line disease treatments) medication & (Not unless disease progression is as severe as potential side effects)! There are safer meds & many folks get decent responses with them. Any Dr that willingly skips those should be avoided and held accountable. Humeria (1- dose) can stay (in your system effecting the immune response; or “lack” there of because humeria slows down the natural ability to fight infection(s) & cancers) by up to 5 Months. People who take 1-dose are NOT allowed to donate Blood or Blood products because it may effect the person getting the bloods ability to heal. That being said patient(s) self injecting are expected to read the data and understand the data supplied by the pharmacy. If any medication comes with such severe warning(s) it should ONLY be administered by the Doctor or ER or Hospital. No (Dr.-ER-Nurse)wants to be (Held Responsible)for these side effects; Thus (pharm companies)transfer that responsibility onto patients. This should change. The ability for self injection(s) has become way way too easy and thus though some greatly recover from severe disease One wonder(s) how blurry the side effects of meds vs disease symptoms really have become… I do not think Anyone cares; Not the drug company-not the doctor & patients that take any medication without Reading about it Along with getting a Doctor that will tell them the Full Story! One person may benefit another die. Another loose eye sight another get pain relief. This isn’t a drug the manufacturer can guarantee side effects because its a gamble drug. Not a understood how everyones immune response will react because no individual immune system nor disease response is exactly alike. The lack there in of (dose per lb/kg leaves much to be desired) said. A 300lb vs 50lb person child-adult-elderly (all get 40mg SC) though the injector (puts it in more intramuscular) the drug company recommend(s)SC sbucutaneous. Another BIG (blunder)?!obviously humans are being given a GMO Biological that sounds amazing but needs More Research IN a STUDY & not on us.

I have been taking humor for over 5 years for sarcoidosis. I had to have an eye surgery last year. I have vision issues as well as high pressures in my eyes. Sometimes my eyes hurt really bad for no apparent reason. My left eye has began to have hi eye pressures and my Dr stated that if we can’t get them under control I will need to have surgery on this eye as well.. I take humor once weekly

At 81, my wife was diagnosed with RA for the first time. Her rheumatologist started her on prednisone, and she felt better immediately. Then this doctor started her on Humira with the aim of getting off the prednisone as soon as the Humeria worked. My wife had the first Humira shot on 12/7/15. My wife felt fine until late in the evening on 12/18, when she developed a severe, bloody cough. The EMTs took her to the ER early 12/9, whereupon she was diagnosed with severe bacterial pneumonia, placed on a ventilator, and put in ICU on IV antibiotics immediately. On 12/20, less than 48 hours after the first symptom, she died. I believe that older RA patients should not be given this drug, as it is too dangerous.

Bob
I took my first humor a shot 10 day ago, the first couple of days I noticed some clearing.. Then I woke in the middle of night itching but didn’t think anything of it. The next morning I awoke to my chest , back and legs brokeout with a horrible rash. Later that day I felt as if my face was swelling and burning. I went to bed that evening and awoke to my face throbbing. I went to the mirror and my face was bright red with the butterfly rash. My back and chest are are completely covered and the rash is spreading all over. I went to the emergency room at 1am and sat for hours for them to only tell me to take benydril and they sent me home. I went to a urgent care and they prescribed me prednisone. I’m worried that it’s gonna be hard to get rid of this rash from my past exsperince with psoriasis breakouts. I wish I would have never tried this drug I was a lot better off. Has anyone else had this and did the rash go away?
Jill
I have sever Crohn’s Disease, diagnosed in 1999. Tried every drug. Started HUMIRA ten years ago. It has been a wonderful drug for me. Have not had one single flare in ten years. However, since injecting HUMIA, I’ve had breast cancer, eye problems, and lots of abscessed teeth. Which is worse: having flares (which involve severe abdominal pain, high fevers, blood in stools, many colonoscopies and hospitalizations every year) or my previously mentioned side-effects? I think I’ll stay on the HUMIRA. QUESTION: Has breast cancer ever been associated with HUMIRA???
joel
My son was diagnosed whith jra By age three his reumatologist Prescrived him whith humira due to That medicine, he was admited 3 Times at the hospital whit major Infections or abces should i say. Finally after sugestin many times He decided to switch him to embrel, Where things got worst after 6 month he was admited at the hospital whith an infection that ended whith his life, There is no doubt , it was cause of this 2 medicine.

I started Humira 6 weeks ago, I was fine after my first dose. Extreme fatigue and flu systems that lasted 2 weeks after my second dose. And now after my 3rd dose I have developed a very large and angry abcess on my breast. Has anyone else had this happen? I have ankylosing spondylitis and chronic iritis and am very fearful after reading all the previous posts

My wife started taking humira and within 4-6 months was diagnosed with leukemia. She was perfectly healthy her entire life to this point. She passed 8 months later.

I was given Humira for psoriatic arthritis 4 years ago along with methotrexate. I had never had psoriatic outbreaks to any large extent just little spots that were never diagnosed over my lifetime. The decrease of pain was immediate. However, after a few months, I began to look terrible. As time went on, over the next years, my skin was swollen but dryed, enlarged pores, weeping eyes and eyelids that peeled,roseacae, pityirius rosa,psoriasis, skin that was raised red , itchy, and then peeled. The Doctors were notified about all of these but put it off to allergies. I had sever sinus, headaches, weeping itchy scalp, lost half of my vision, terrible bowel swelling, started limping. I stopped the Metho. and did feel a little better. The symtoms never went . I had a cough , internal itching that drove me crazy, and in the end I could hardly walk. I felt like my legs were giving out at the very top. I looked like a Gargoyle. All of these things kept getting slowly worse gradually over time. I have stopped the Humira now and after 2 months am looking a hell of a lot better and walking better. I know it will take time to get rid of the symtoms all together but feel confident it will happen . My vision is back and the rashes are going . Still stuck with sinus, a cough and some itching . a limp but sooooooooo much better overall. Hope there is no severe damage as all the Drs. don’t seem to know any of the side affects or don’t want to know. I’ll stick with OTC pain relievers until I can’t walk again and maybe even then . I think if you have allergies already you shouldn’t be prescribed these drugs and if you are ,you should be closley watched. Maybe taking a picture at the Doctors at the start would help show the decline or improvement. it’s dangerous to have no help out there.

Started humira over 5years ago. Sept 23, 2014 I had a heart attack requiring a stent. In 2013 had a good nuclear stress test. And a year later I have a heart attack. When we started humira the main problem we were warned about was lowered immunity. Nothing was ever discussed about heart problems. As soon as heart attack was diagnosed I was told to stop the humira & lodine-an antiinflamatory med. When I requested a container to return used syringes in they said they would report the attack to FDA. Is there anything that can be done. The heart attack has slowed me somewhat. Thanks

I started taking Humira in 2011 to help with psoriatic arthritis. It did great in this regard, the arthritis pain was literally gone overnight. However, in early 2012 I was diagnosed with bladder cancer. I had surgery in Jan 2012 to remove several tumors. After about a two month break, I started taking Humira again in March of 2012. Then in June 2012 they found more tumors in the bladder, and these were also removed. I quit taking Humira after the second surgery, and have been cancer free since. I’m taking some alternate drugs to help with the arthritis (Sulfasalazine, Plaquenil and Arava). And they are managing the symptoms pretty well. So no more TNF blockers for me EVER. 🙂

DO NOT take Humira! I started it to help with Crohn’s Disease. 30 minutes after my second injection I was unable to walk or use my arms/hands. They were numb and I kept having terrible muscle spasms. I had to be carried to the car and rushed to the hospital. I am now able to use my limbs but having numbness, tingling, dizziness, and some blindness in my left eye. I am waiting to see a neurologist and hoping not to have done serious nerve damage. I also have no energy and a terrible cough.
