I just started humira Wednesday. I am worried about the getting sick part of this, and want to know from people on this medication how often they get sick and if they take extra precautions. Or what to expect form real people not drug ambassador from humira. Thank you
So I did start it but got got sick right after and didn't get better for 3 weeks. Just was able to take another shot and it helped and took about 80% of the pain away
Seems like my eyes are getting worst by the minute. Also have Metamorphopsia, but all this started as my AS has been progressing. Not sure if there is a connection

I just hit my 4 konths with Humera and am in the same place with my pain as when I started. I also have been very focused on maintaining my diet.

I've never heard of that Katherine! I'm interested on what you decide!! Keep us pst'd, K...? Best of luck. Have a good day...👋

Initially and for the first time in my life I woke up in the morning without pain. I then was prescribed Cimzea (the medication for NR AS). It's been close to a year and recently, I started having the same pain in the morning where it's difficult to straighten up… read more
Anything is possible. I've been on medication that I questioned about whether it was wearing off. I quit taking the medication for one week, started back on it and it worked great
Don't do this… read more
