24 Jul 2014 Send a PM Give a Hug My brother has a chrons diseases, doctors started with him HUMIRA needels since two month, after one month Palmoplantar pustulosis psoriasis appeared on his body and start spreading inside his ears, all his hands and feet, between legs, his back and head. Now he can't walk because of his feet, he has a strong pain and he is yelling from pain strenght, HUMIRA destroyed his life and our life as a family. HUMIRA destroyed us!! We thought that it will provide him a quality of life but it does not. We had a very bad luck in side effect. doctors says now that my brother has to live with the new disease!! It is so hard on us really.

30 Jan 2013 although Humira has 70% cleared my skin condition, I feel very tired most of the time. Fatigue hits me pretty quick and yet of a night time I wake a lot and have very vivid nightmares. I caught a cold, the worst cold ever and it has totally washed me out for 4 weeks it really drained me to the point I was just lying down all day

05 May 2011 Humira saved me at first. Although it seems to be failing now I will stick with it until it fails completely. None of the biologicals can promise to work and keep on working. In fact they can't even tell you when and if it'll stop working....could be tomorrow, next week, next month, or next year. Maybe it won't completely stop working. This is the disease of uncertainty, Rheumatoid Arthritis, official dream stealer.
