Don't think so, have had Crohn's for over 30 yrs and the high BP just for the last couple. Maybe from something else though, just trying to narrow the possibilities....
Have been on Humira for 2 1/2 years now. My blood pressure in the past was always fine, around 110 to 120. A year ago it was around 140 over 90. Just got back from the Gastro and they took it 3...
I live in the Florida,USA. Tysabri scares me, LDN intrigues me. MTX and 6mp did not work out. I guess I am thinking of going to Cimzia or getting my dermatoligist to perscribe Stelara, but really...
I have lived with this for around 40 years. Went thru High School, College (when the only legal thing available was Prednisone) and have worked full time ever since in what many consider a high...
Took Remicade for little less than a year and gave me psoriasis so bad I had to quit. Been on Humira for probally 2 1/2 years, still a psoriasis problem but much less than Remicade and more...
Good advice. I travelled overseas last year, 28 hour trip there and then multiple trips after I got there. That insulated lunch pack went thru a lot of xrays and seemed to be OK. I had called their...
I find Milk of Magnesia works great and doctor said safe to take. Have not tried Miralax....
Hi jid and onthecan. The Humira has worked pretty good for me, getting me down from 28 to 30 mgs of Prednisone to just 1 mg a day. If I was not able to reduce the Pred on it, I would definitly not...
I swear sometimes I can really feel it after a shot in terms of feeling better, tired etc and other times it seems like nothing happened. I usually take it every week, but skipped a week a couple of...
I switched and have had pretty much the same results....
I developed Psoriasis for the first time, mostly on my lower legs, caused by remicade. Anti TNF drugs seem to be causing more of this. Stopped the remicade for 4 months and it improved a lot but...
I have been on Humira since January. Since then I get headaches once a week, usually few days after shot, that last about 24hrs. And even when I have taken something to make the ache better, I still...
Thanks for the information Broomhilda, will look for one. Have you tried one of the antifungal creams you can get OTC like Lamisil or something. Just wondering, seems like it would be easier than...
Hmm, the fungal infection kinda sounds like what I have too. The steroid creams never did make it much better, mostly just did not itch. I stoped taking Remicade because 2 dermatoligists said the...
Thanks, guess its not just me. Tylenol and HeadOn seem to just take the edge off, not make the headache go away, resorted to Excederin last week as had work to do, and of course that can make the...
Anyone using Humira and getting headaches more than usual. Starting taking it 9 weeks ago and it seems a couple times a week I get a headache now that lasts around 24 hrs. The whole day I feel like I...
anti tnf drugs are known to cause psoriasis in in some individuals (even though it is supposed to help it in others). I was on Remicade and got a itching rash that 2 dermatoligist said was psoriasis...
I called the Humira help line over a month ago and asked them about the discount card. They asked me a lot of questions concerning my insurance, who my Dr. is, etc. Said they would get back back to...
I had a Pharmacist recommend to me Echinacea and I beleive Golden Seal as a way to help avoid getting sick from plane travel. She swore by it, said she takes it whenever she travels and has prevented...
I devloped a bad rash mostly on my lower legs, but also some on hands and arms after my 5th infusion around March. Dermatoligist beleives was/is Psoiasis caused by Remicade. Stopped the Remicade in...
It is steroid like Prednisone, except it is mostly absorbed in the intestine, so not as much of the steroid goes into your blood stream. Therefore the side effects from the steroids are reduced. I...
Did a search of the board, but not much on Methotrexate. I was wondering about peoples experiences with it, either positive or negative. Has it helped or not helped anyone with fistulas? Has anyone...
Thanks for the replys. Interesting Medscape article, apparently the psoriasis happens with Humira as well....
I take diphenhydramine HCl, which is the sleep ingrediant in Tylenol PM and so is available over the counter. They say it is non habit forming. Simply Sleep is their version without the Tylenol....
Started remicade in Nov. 06 and had my last infusion this August. After around the 5th infusion in April developed a very bad ugly rash mostly on lower legs. Dermatoligist thought probally psoriasis...
I addition to Folic Acid I have also read that Biotin and B12 help and have been taking them all. Seem to be doing better....
