Hey guys, I have been on Humira since I turned 18, and I'm now 35 years old. I was part of the clinical trials and have been on the drug since. As far as controlling my Crohn's goes, the drug has done a great job. I'm happy and healthy; 5'11 and about 160 pounds. I've had no major side effects to speak of, and my bloodwork looks great.
However, for years I've experienced a bunch of symptoms that might be a Humira side effect; but nobody knows for sure since I've been on the drug my whole adult life. These include:

However, for years I've experienced a bunch of symptoms that might be a Humira side effect; but nobody knows for sure since I've been on the drug my whole adult life. These include:
- Constant congested/runny nose; we're talking at least 350 days of the year.
- Bad scalp psoriasis that nothing will treat. 3 different dermatologists all blame the Humira but none of them have performed any real tests to try and confirm that.
- Misc small rashes that come and go in various parts of my body, which usually require steroid creams to treat. Again the doctors blame Humira.
- I'm also more fatigued than I feel like I should, but I've heard that's normal with Crohn's even when you have no symptoms. I'm also quite active, work long hours and always on my feet, so maybe I'm expecting too much there.
I'm seeking advice for what to do here.
