Humira And The Immune System

I have been on Humira for over 6 years for my UC. Humira has made the quality of my life amazing and I am now in remission. In the last year or so I am catching every cold or flu I come across. Now the quality of my life is on the down fall. Anyone else that has been on Humira for a long time experiencing the same thing?

REPORT

The FDA does warn that people treated with Humira may catch various infections more easily than usual.

Ref: Humira Information, and warnings.

Our bodies also change with time, so it is always possible to start experiencing side effects that you haven't experienced before.

The FDA lists other side effects as possibly including administration site reaction, nausea, abdominal pain, headache, and rash.

Have you consulted your doctor to make them aware of this issue?

Are you on any other medications?

Yes I have consulted my doctor. The Humira has really improved the quality of my life. So with that said we decided to try a Mediterranean meal plan and an anti inflammatory diet. Also adding a multi daily vitamin.
