I'm really having a tough time since regular coffee has become more my enemy as has my regular colas and I was a real caffeine addict at one point without the humira. I'm forcing myself through somedays but others I just can't. I'm having some other problems as well. Arms and legs can feel like lead weights at times plus muscle and joint pain, multiple migranes (I go through a perscription a week of imitrex since starting the humira), constipation instead of diahria (which was extreme before) for the first 9 days then back to diahria the last 5 days. I have more nausea and bloating with the constipation. I have gone to all liquid as of this past monday. Due for another shot on Wednesday so we'll see if that is better.
I do take almost no prescription pain med for my belly pain since on humira, just tylenol. Does nothing for the muscle pain though. So I guess that is a plus. 6 out of the last 7 weeks have involved some foods that aren't normal due to the holidays and even though I skimped on them, I did taste them. So I want to see what happens the next 2 weeks.
Spoke to my doctors assistant thursday to schedule my appt for the 16th and she thought he'd take me off.... I don't know whether to or try and wait a while longer. I just finally am supposed to get off the Entocort on the 14th. I was on iv sulumedrol and antibiotics for a partial obstruction in september and have been on steroids ever since. Tapered the pred. while increasing the Entocort and then started tapering the Entocort when I started the humira.
My husband is most upset about my fatigue and wobbliness in my legs. It's caused many a fall in the am.
How are you dealing with the fatigue scaryman and do you have any other side effects?
TIA...
