Hi,
So I'm hoping some of you guys could help me. I have been using Humira 40mg per week for 3 years now. Last summer I was stung by a wasp for the first time and had a major allergic reaction- luckily I got my GP in time and he gave me Epinephrine in enough time to stop my closing throat. Anyway I got a fright an epipen and continued on with life.
I have never suffered with allergies so this was my first experience with anything like this. To get to the point about 3 months ago I woke one night (about 4am) with really itchy hands and feet. Before I knew what was happening I was tearing my skin off scratching, after that came a dose of the shakes and then I felt violently ill. I thought it was a good idea to go to the toilet to be sick. After a minute on my feet I promptly fainted, my husband kept trying to get me up every time I came too but as soon as I'd lift my head I'd pass out again. I eventually to the bathroom where I slept with exhaustion. My GP said it was a bad allergic reaction, I passed out because of a drop in BP.
That was scary, I hadn't a notion what had caused it. I now take a strong antihistamine daily but I keep getting this reaction. Not always as sever a first mostly but really scary all the same.
So what I'm wondering is could this be linked to the Humira? Has this or anything similar happened to any out there also taking Humira. As I said before I have never been sensitive to anything allergies wise.
Any help or sharing!!!
Please and thanks all so much.
