Hi all, first time poster.

Been having some issues lately and have put them down to the Humira I'm on. Been on 1x 40mg injection every two weeks.

Thought I'd reach out. Few things...

1. Has anyone had their creatinine levels go up whilst on Humira?
Mine aren't seriously up but they have gone above normal in last two months.
Been having headaches pretty frequently, have put it down to the dehydration associated with the high levels but no matter how much water I pump into my system I'm still feeling dry constantly.
Also really sensitive to salt on food occasionally?

2. I've had a nasal infection/blocked nose/green snot for about 4-5months now, is that to be expected? Driving me nuts!!!

3. When I first started on it, I felt great...really good. But lately I've been feeling pretty average. Lethargic, Bloated, Constipated (usually 1-2 days after having Humira), then loose bowel movements.

Doctors have said all the above aren't too much to worry about but I'm just sick of feeling off. Another Doc said "well, we aren't going to cease the treatment because you're having a few minor side effects".

Pretty frustrating. Any advice? Anyone in the same boat as myself?
