Comment:
Humira pen I used for 3 months and at the beginning I felt good, but in the second month I developed sinusitis and my eyes were red and dry, and in the third month I could not sleep with sinus and post nasal drip and puffy eyes. The doctor canceled it and now I use methotrexate waiting for results to lower the inflammation.

I experienced pain and stinging with the injection. Found myself putting it off till late at night on the day I was supposed to take it. An RN then suggested using a small piece of a prescription Lidocaine patch on the injection spot to help numb the skin before injection. It worked nicely.

I was diagnosed with RA in 2014 and started methotrexate, prednisone, folic acid and Humira subq every two weeks. After the first dose the inflammation and stiffness was reduced about 25%.

I was diagnosed with RA in 2014 and started methotrexate, prednisone, folic acid and Humira subq every two weeks. After the first dose the inflammation and stiffness was reduced about 25%. The Humira was increased to weekly but my RA just seemed to rebound so I was switched to Remicade, then Orencia, then Actemra, all with no relief of symptoms. On Actemra I experienced severe sores in my mouth and extremely high blood pressure. My Vectra DA score is still 44 so I will be changing to Rituxamab soon. If there is still no response I would like to go back to Humira as it was the easiest for me and had the least side effects of all the meds. I hope it works well for others.
