Headaches? What could it be? Imuran, humira, something else?

[SupportiveMom]

Since about 4 weeks after starting Imuran my daughter started getting headaches 1x a day. It happened when she added a new med, mezavant & she was away at camp so I thought it was the activity & new med. Headaches went away about 1.5 weeks ago. Told the GI and she took D off of Mezevant. Starting a couple of days ago the headaches started coming back. So it would suggest it is not the mezevant. She is now completely clear of humira as her last dosage should have been yesterday. (We are awaiting Simponi, the new med starting this week). My kid already takes too many pills so I want to minimize her headaches best I can. Anyone get headaches on imuran, or coming off humira? Any other thoughts on why this could be happening?

No one? Lots of read but no reply?

I really have no advice. I have read some threads on here where members dealt with headaches when their CD was active. Have you asked in the parents forum? One of them may have dealt with something similar.

I am starting to think the only active place is the parents forum. Clash I think you are onto something.

Humira may cause headaches according to drugs.com

DJW, she has come off Humira. Her last dosage was 18 days ago. She would get them from time to time but not clustered or multiple days. No info on how a body detoxes off a med so I don't know if it ts that. So far Tylenol is working but it definitely makes me confused.

Sorry, I wish I had a better answer for you. I hate throwing darts at a board for answers.
