Swolen Face And Glands - Using Humira (Top voted first)

Updated

I've been using Humira since 27 Aug 2015. Changed my life completely .... Felt so much better, but now my face / glands / whole body seems to swollen all the time (especially my face and neck area) .... I started smoking 2 months ago .... Can that have an effect on the swelling ?
