Humira Patient Working In Hospitals

Hey there,

I'm not sure if this is the right spot to post this but I'm in need of some advice. I started using humira about 6 months ago. I'm 23. I want to go back to school to become a surgery technician. However since I am on humira I was wondering if anyone thought there is a cause of concern working in an hospital environment while on humira (increased risk of infection). I haven't noticed being sick more often since going on humira.

Hello, Kyle! How are you?

I supposed there would be some slightly increased risk, but I doubt it should be enough to prevent you from working. However, you should check with your doctor to be sure.

Is there anything else I can help with?

I have been on Humira for a year. I'm 26, and in nursing school. This drug should not hold you back from reaching your career goals! Go for it. Just do diligent hand washing, no biting nails, and take vitamin c everyday. Knock on wood--- I'm healthier than I've been in a long time! Good luck :)
