"Been using it for 13 months now. It is easy to inject. It makes me feel a bit tired, and I get slight headaches, but psoriasis has mostly gone from my legs! There are still a few patches, but it's 80% better than it was."

"Humira is awful stuff. Muscle and joint pain when I never had it before. Upper respiratory infections that won’t clear up. Bruising-like big bruises that have no specific cause. Caused breakouts/flare-ups. Fatigue. And this happened consistently every time I would do an injection. This last injection time the upper respiratory infection started on December 19th, and I still have it on New Year’s Eve. I wouldn’t recommend this med to anyone. The only upside is the Humira people are very nice and helpful."

"Before starting Humira, my doctor asked if I had any nerve issues, and I explained lesions had been found on my brain in 2015 that they suspect may be MS, but I hadn't done a confirmation MRI to confirm the diagnosis. He put me on it anyway, and I trusted him. My psoriasis went away, and I was happy until about a year into taking it when I started having serious cognitive issues, balance issues that caused nausea and weight loss, etc. I've been going through testing for 6 months now, and more and more, the neurologist and other specialists I'm now having to see regularly suspect the Humira is what caused the new lesions on my brain that are causing all of my neurological issues! I've had to leave my job because I was unable to work, my family has suffered, and while it was nice to have the psoriasis gone, it wasn't worth this."

"I have been diagnosed with severe psoriasis since January 2020. My dermatologist tried topicals first and did blood work, and everything worked well. It started as a small patch on my scalp. It then progressed to all over my scalp, to my face, ears, back, chest, stomach, legs, and groin. It was at this time my doctor prescribed me Humira starting January 2021. After 3 months, I am completely clear. I can go out in public and people are not afraid I have COVID. I am back to my normal beautiful skin. I have had no side effects, and it only cost me 5 dollars a month! Humira has worked wonders. Plus, all my lab work is coming back normal. I got my life back. :)"

"59, never had psoriasis or a family history. Got a small rash and then a flare-up on lower back. Never on knees or elbows, no joint pain. Maybe the propranolol caused it. I was taking too much (anxiety), and it triggers an immune response. In 5 minutes of only a visual exam, the dermatologist said the p-word, psoriasis. No way. Nonetheless, I was like, ok, give me a topical, and I'll be on my way. He, for some strange reason, left the room and returned by saying, 'I treat from inside.' Next, you got it, HUMIRA!! I was naive and uneducated on biologics. I took it for 12 months. I was without the few rashes by week 10, but it probably would have left on its own. I continued taking H for a year, and everything was ok. Fact, 0 side effects. I think the dermatologist checked my insurance when he left the room. Month 14, I got a urinary tract infection, and that was it. Never had a UTI in my life. It is a common side effect I found out later. It took me a month to get rid of...So I had to stop abruptly. I never got H again."

"I was diagnosed about 2 months ago with plaque psoriasis, and this condition really had me feeling depressed at first. My doctor referred me to a dermatologist. I began phototherapy at the end of October, and I started the Humira injections last week. Today, I notice my skin clearing, and I wasn't having a lot of pain, so today I'm much happier with Humira."

"Except for a few small patches on my scalp, all other areas... legs, knees, chest, stomach, back, and inside my ears have completely cleared within 3 weeks. No side effects... so far. Very happy."

"Humira totally clears my skin, and I was 60% covered or better, and you can't tell I have it at all, and haven't been sick either. This is a savior for me."

"Unfortunately, Humira did not work for my plaque psoriasis. I have psoriasis on the trunks of my legs, elbows, arms, hands, and did not experience any clearing after 5 months."

"Very painful to inject. Doesn’t seem too effective. Many times, the medication just spills out instead of injecting. Poor overall."

"It was the worst treatment I ever had in 60 years, what a rip-off. I'm sorry I ever used it."
