Humira & Side Effects

Updated

Hi! So I'm 25 and I've had RA since I was 6. I'm seeing fantastic improvement in my joint with only two injections. I have been having a ton of side effects, I'm getting horrible muscle cramps to the point I had to go to the ER. The latest thing is my latest period. It's horribly painful and it's excessively heavy (not to get too graphic) is this normal or something to be concerned about? I've tried just about everything for my RA and this is the first relief I've ever had but the cramps and the muscle pains are horrible.

Hello, Monica! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problems you're having.

Yes, Humira can cause those types of issues as side effects. As listed by the FDA, you may also experience nausea, diarrhea, sinusitis and rash.

Have you informed your doctor?
