Any headaches?

[TeresaPro]

DO any of you get headaches from Humira? I had a few mild dizzy spells and a minor headache for 3 days about 3 days after my loading dose. And yes it fricken hurt, but at least it was quick.

I don't get them every time, but I do get them often, maybe 1/2. Sometimes it last half a day, sometimes up to 3 days. Severity varies a lot as well, it's usually mild but sometimes I have to sleep them out.

Yup, it's been discussed many a time here.
I get slight headaches, but usually a weird feeling of having latency between me and the outside world, like someone is having to translate everything. Worst is when I hit a vein and bleed with the injection rather than a true sub-cut, but still only lasts 18-24hrs at most.

Oh yes, do the injections at night to sleep off the immediate side effects.

Yes yes YES I get headaches once-twice a week randomly, although lately I found that they get worse when I am tired. I tried everything without luck. The only thing that works somehow is paracetamol pills.

Not so much now but at the beginning the headaches lasted 2 or 3 days with slight nausea. I still get them but not so intense.

For me, I would get a slight headache after my injection. This was for the first two months or so. I have not had any headaches since. I've been on since April 2010.

We'll see how next tues goes.. Hopefully no headaches. Got my tylenol on stand by!

I pre-dose myself 1 hour before my Humira injection and 2 hours before I go to sleep with 1000mg of Tylenol, and 50mg of Benedryl. Then I take a 500mg of tylenol in the morning and another that evening, and so far, it has helped with the headaches I would get after my Humira injection. There were never really bad or debilitating, just kind of annoying.

I had to take both for remicade. but so far just have to deal with the headaches. The itchy's have not appeared yet and I hope they don't. I don't feel as nearly wipped out as the remi made me feel.

i had headaches when i increased from every other week to every week. They lasted about two months and occurred around when i give my self the shoot. i was giving a migraine med since i take too much tyelonl already. the good news is mine went away.
