Humira question

gobbler,

I can't respond personally to the Humira question because I have not had it yet. I am sure someone will be along shortly so hang in there...

I am sorry you are not feeling well. I think that Humira is like so many other medications in that everyone's response time varies. From what others have shared...some of them took a few weeks before they started noticing an improvement...and some of them found relief right away.

I can say that with Remicade ( I know it is not Humira but it is a very similar medication) I get "aches" on the inside where the inflammation was before my infusion. It lasts about 3 days. Lethargy varies but is usually gone after 1 week.

I hope you feel better soon! I will be watching your responses as that may be the next medication we try if the Remicade fails.

I have done Remicade, Humira and Cimzia and with them all I had fatigue and aches for a day or two after, as far pain around the belly button I don't remember so much, did you do the loading dose of 4 shots? Is so it could just be from the injections, if it doesn't go away soon, call your Dr. Good Luck!
