Tentative About Starting Humira
I was recently diagnosed with AS. I had started Celebrex 3 days before meeting my rheumatologist. The rheumatologist barely read my chart or listened to anything I was saying before telling me I need to start Humira. My inflammation markers are all down to normal ranges after Celebrex.

AS And Asthma
Just wondering how many of you have asthma as well as AS? And, did the asthma improve along with your AS when taking a biologic? Thank you.

Has Anyone Gotten Vaccines While Taking Humira Of Did You Stop Taking The Humira To Get Vaccines.
I was told we couldn't have LIVE VACCINES....I did get the flu and covid vaccines tho, because they aren't live ones. I can't remember names of live ones tho, but the pharmacist told me some.
Does Anyone Suffer With Bright Red Skin Whilst On Himura?
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 :/
As a result of AS I suffer from plaque psoriasis on my face,nose area hair areas on head.
How High Is The Risk Of Getting Tuberculosis When Taking Humira?
Your Drs shld test for TB before you start a biologic! If not, find a different Dr!! Have a painfree day my friends & best of luck!!! Enjoy...😊
Humira Skin Reaction?
Been on himura since October 2023, this is the reaction I get daily, is this normal? Or anything anyone else has experienced? It's not itchy but just becomes so warm and red at any chance of heat, sun, feeling warm. It's also rising on my chest and neck. Very concerned 😑 doctors just seem to give antihistamines but none work. Thank you for your help!
