I just started Humira. I did my four loading doses, and I am due for my next two injections this Saturday. The pain relief was almost immediate (3-4 hours), but since I have been extremely fatigued, and my limbs feel heavy. I also feel very cloudy, and not myself. My doctor thinks that it is not the Humira, but me "crashing" from the Prednisone now that I am tapering down, which I don't believe because the Prednisone keeps me up all hours of the night, even at lower doses.

My question is this...I am on birth control. I am on my last week and taking the sugar pills. I usually get my period around the 3-4th day of taking the sugar pills. I have one pill left, and no signs of my period. Should I be concerned? Does Humira interfere with your periods, and/or birth control? I have been very sensitive and over emotional, but that is common for me when taking the Prednisone. Just getting a little nervous.
