Hello! I moved your question to its own thread in the hopes you would get more answers.

I've been on Humira since last November and haven't got any side-effects from it and I'm happily in remission.

Attached is a link that contains some of the known side effects of Humira and ranks them by how common they are and how severe they are

Are there any specific concerns you are having about using Humira that you want to ask the group? I'm bumping the thread to see if anyone on Humira has any input and willing to share their experience with you. :hug:

Well I would like to know did it work for you's and is it a good a drug as my doctor painting it to be !

 

[theOcean]

It definitely is! It seems like side-effects are less likely with it and I haven't had any at all. It's been absolutely amazing for my fistula and it has me in remission. So I would recommend it!

I seem to always have a cold. It could be the Humira or it could be our 2, 4, and 6 year old's germs.

 

[seaneoin]

Well it does say your immune system is lowered is that the only down side to it you found

 

[mrjohns2]

The only down side for me has been colds. Again, it is hard to say how many are from the Humira and not the kids or my asthma making it harder to get rid of them.
