Does Anyone Suffer With Bright Red Skin Whilst On Himura?

A MySpondylitisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Northampton, UK

I have Ankylosing Spondylitis and hip Bursitis. Have been on himura since October 2023 and recently even in the colder weather had skin on my arms and neck/chest which keeps going bright red the slightest feeling of heat. Getting so embarrassed which is making it worse! Has anyone had this on this medication? Also have mild lymphocytosis which has shown up on the last 5 blood results :/

there are multiple biologics available, and as each of us is totally unique in every way, trials may be necessary to find the right one, that compliments our other meds. this may take weeks, and months or longer. Some new ones may come available in time as well.

I'm on my fourth biologic and it's kinda working though a higher dose is required, and compliments my many other meds. I keep my GP and all my specialists all in the same loop, so they're all working together, to a common goal.

Hoping you'll find a solution that works for you, in whatever form it'll take.

Meds, especially multiple will definitely make you much worse. Check online for cross interactions. I tried 5 biologics, all made me much worse. Now I don't take any. I use diet and supplements that act against inflammation with antioxidants that target the same cytokines most biologics target. Doing much much better.

Thank you, appreciate that. I have become so heat intolerant since taking it, honestly been so ill since being on himura and other meds. Had to give up work as being so ill on the time, fatigued, going toilet all the time, stomach pains. Just makes me wonder if I would be better off the meds than on them! I take so many per day as I have 5 other chronic conditions xxx

I don't use Humira but I know it's a side effect from using it, causes redness of the skin.
