User Reviews for Humira Pen subcutaneous

I have been diagnosed with PsA. I noticed much less psoriasis and pain but have been most impressed since the addition of prednisone. No psoriasis, much less pain in hand and wrists

I'm now feeling great since I am using Humira and would recommend this treatment.

I was dx w/psoriasis 12 years ago after my dx w/ ulcerative colitis, I ended uphaving my colon removed in 1998 as I could not get into remission.The psoriasis rash was all over and I had PUVA light tx for in 1996 and it never came back. about 5 years ago I started getting it on my scalponly but starte w/joint pain also and was dx w/ psoriatic arthritis. The jointpain has gotton very bad in the last2 years. Tried Remicade but has a reaction to it. Used my first Humira pen on Monday 2/23/09 and already see diminished swelling and pain.I hope it cont... to get even better. I wish this med was around in 1996 when I was dx w/ the colitis as I would have tried before I had colectomy.The inj did sting but I will try the sugg of taking it out to room temp and icing thigh first.Thanks to everyone for your helpful input!Read More Read Less

I have not tried this drug yet, so i put low stars and now am not sure if I should do to some of the reviews. Nothing is forever in medicine I guess. This drug like someone else said is very expensive I am going to possibly start if I get approved on my app if you are poor like me and no insurance then call this 800 number it goes by income and they will pay for humira for one year my pharmacy gave it to me 800-633-9110 wish me luck ill tell you how it goes.

I feel I have 3 of the side effects of this medication. 1. Hair loss 2. Red mask across my face and 3. Rough skin. I do not know if I should discontinue the use of this medication?

So far has been very easy to use and has helped with the swelling and pain.

I use Humira for Ulcerative Colitis, after several other drugs were not effective. I have found the injections are less painful and have less injection site reaction if done in the stomach instead of thigh. I worry about potential infections and cancer risks, but my UC couldn't be controlled otherwise.

Have been on Humira for one year, haven't had any flares feel like my old self. I find that stomach injections are the best way to go less sting. Great drug!

easy to use. like the fact that the injection is only every other week. the kit given to me by my rheumatoligist was extremely clear and helpful (the office also provided comprehensive instructions and demonstrated proper injection techniques. after a couple of injections I felt a good deal of relief. I am now into my third month off treatment and am abale to walk quite well. I was barely able to stand before treatment. my pain level has also been reduced considerably. I walk for excercise everyday-something I thought I would never do again as I was able to do just a few years ago. being able to get around and live a more normal life has also reduced the depression I felt when I was so disabled.Like most people, I worry about side effects of any meds and nobody likes to inject themselves (you get over it!) but the end result is worth it. you get your life back!Read More Read Less

its great having my skin so smooth.

Started Humira in July 08, worked well in the beginning, but now its time for a change. I'am having breakthroughs that are painful with movements of new joints being affected. My feet never really got better,just less painful, now expriencing numbness after standing approx. 10mins. just not happy.

Just had second injection.. Works great for pain and swelling of arthritis. Only bad thing is the injection site reaction. My thigh is red and hot and swollen up. Prescribed Vistril and ointment to help with burning, swelling and itching. Not sure if I should continue treatment or not. Very frustrating..

I worked the first few months, then I was right back where I started. Just with more meds to take. Time to try something new!

Humria worked for the first couple months, then started coming back especially on the finger and toe nails.

I've been using Humira for almost a year now, one injection every other week. Before I started the Humira my skin was about 70 % covered with Psoriasis. Skin was clear after about 6 weeks and stayed clear for about 6 months. Now showing signs of plaques, getting worse every week. Had very good results at the start, med seems to be losing its effect rapidly after 12 months.

Started taking Humira Nov. 2007,It was taken in combination with Arava. Worked fine for approx. 8mo.Now experiencing flare ups. Taking injections every 10 days.Not working as well as my MD and I had hoped.

I just started taking humira a week ago. I was having a flare. I feel better already. It's was easier to tolerate than enbrel. I was getting a terrible rash at the injection site and very tired. I am still tired but not as bad.hopefully this is my miracle drug.

I have just started taking Hummira for one month.I also take three other drugs and so far I still have pain and weekness. I also feel hot all the time, like having hot flashes. I have to push myself everyday just to get thru the day.
