Has Anyone Had Hives With A RA Medicine? In My 2nd Or 3 Rd Month Of Xeljanz And I Have Terrible Hives

Good news it was not a reaction to the Xeljanz, but a bug bite. Thank you all!!!

I've almost completed 2 months of taking Xeljanz. And now I have horrible hives. Has anyone else had this experience?? Thank you much.

That's true. I've never had any mouth sores but my sister did.

Hey, I know we're not meant to give medical advice on here but it sounds like you are having an allergic reaction - you need to see a doctor asap, they will almost definitely take you off the medication. If you start having trouble breathing or swallowing please go to an emergency room.
