My husband just started taking Humira yesterday, what are some of the side effects we should watch for and how long should it take to see a difference in his symptoms?

I've been on Humia for 3 years now, Enbrel before that. I haven't had any side effects at all
I noticed a change after a month but, humia was a fellow on from enbrelsewhere, I took up walking group again and swimming. Still have the "attacks" but the body feels loser and more in control. Hope all goes well for you hugs

the only side effects I got were increased sinus infections. And it will take 2 months at least and maybe longer to feel any help!

I saw a difference after about 2-3 months. I've been taking for a year now and my fingers are back to normal I can wear my engagement ring again! I haven't had any bad side effects.

Don't expect an overnight success. It can take awhile for the meds to get into his system. Everyone responds differently. Hang in there.

I’m on my 3rd shot on Humira. Plus Arava and Plasmaquinre . How long does it take to make me feel better?
