HI ALL

I have noticed myself sometimes breathing heavy especially at night time.I can hear myself ,then I suck in some deep air a few times which gets me back to normal breathing.
Does anyone else experience this?
Or is it just me.
Could the Humira be causing this?

By the way I have decided to stop the injections on my own,mostly due to my hair loss.I will inform my Gi on Monday.I was due for an injection 2 days ago(FRI)but skipped it.
Now its the wait and see or feel game.
I have already noticed a change in my bowel movements.I was going twice a day,now its up to 4-5 a day but not runny as of yet.

I will keep everyone posted.
 
Hey Tammy. The Humira can cause upper respiratory problems. I have had them myself since taking the Humira. At night I snore sometimes... (well My bf says I do... I still don't believe him :) ) and I have really heavy breathing. I've also had cold-like symptoms for about 3 months that I'm chalkin up to Humira use.
 
Breathing issues are nothing to take lightly. I'm glad you'll be mentioning it to your doctor Monday. If he doesn't seem concerned insist on a chest x-ray. I had shortness of breath or difficulty breathing and it turned out to be very serious. Could have been my Remicade and could be your Humira. I was hospitalized for over a month with lung issues.

Thanks Its good to no that I'm not the only one having breathing problems.
I was suppose to take my injection on Friday but decided not to or should I so back and forth I was trying to way in the factors anyhow I decided not to take the injection(MY CALL) Its been 5days or 19 days from last injection since Fri I have not had any difficulties in my breathing, as for my hair it is still falling out but not in gobs and gobs. I am hoping that it will start growing again instead of falling out.
Wait and See Game
