Members shared mixed experiences with allergic reactions to Humira, with several reporting hives appearing a few days after injection, rashes around the ears, and in one severe case, swelling of joints and near-shock. Many members expressed deep disappointment about having to stop Humira despite loving how well it worked for their RA, with common reasons for discontinuation including intestinal problems, frequent infections like the flu or sinus issues, and heightened sensitivity to medications. A recurring theme was the challenge of finding a biologic that works without intolerable side effects, with members offering practical tips like drinking plenty of water, trying different injection sites to reduce pain, and exploring alternatives like Xeljanz or Enbrel when Humira is no longer an option.
