Humira- Neurological side effects - help with my anxiety please

[Regularlyirregular]

Looking for someone to tell me some promising news as I am very nervous. For those that experienced neurological side effects (numbness and tingling)how long did it take for them to go away? I have read it could take from 4-6 months for the Humira to be out of your body. It has been about 3 months since my last injection and I’m still feeling it, although it has gotten better to some extent. I did get an MRI but my neurologist basically says it’s an unknown and we have to wait and see what happens.

Positive thoughts are appreciated. I think I read too much scary stuff. Thanks.

Hi. I am going to start with the Humira injections soon, so I can't answer your question. There is a Humira Support Group under "Support Groups." Some of the more educated members will surely stop by soon to help you. Sending you my support

I took Humira for 6 weeks back in 2016 before stopping it due to numbness on to the left side of my body. My left arm was tingling and my left leg was badly affected that I ended up dragging it when I was walking. My consultant referred me to a neurologist and did a MRI on the brain. Luckily nothing came up, but because I suffered those symptoms they instantly stopped it. My left arm recovered within about a month, but my leg took longer. I think it was a couple of months afterwards.
