Hello everyone. My name is Alaina and this is my first time on here. I have a question, and I'm hoping someone might have some sort of answer possibly. Both my husband and I have colitis. He was just diagnosed about
2 years ago and has not been well ever since. As a last resort before removing his colon, they decided to try him on Humira. He just started treatment about
4 weeks ago, had 4 injections the first time and just had another injection on the 15th. My question is:
As his spouse, can I have an allergic reaction to Humira if we have sex?
I know this may sound a bit odd; however, about 3 weeks ago, right after his 4 injections, my body started "wigging" out. I have had hives like you wouldn't believe. They are terrible!!!! I had to go to the ER 3 times already, and they just seem to be getting worse. I see an immunologist tomorrow because my thryoid levels are all crazy too, but I was just wondering if any one else has had a problem like this....
I want to know if it's just thyroid/autoimmune issues, or could this be a possibility??? Humira does and can have some pretty bad side effects...so I'm trying to look at what may be causing my body to do this. Thank you!!!
Alaina
