Members responded warmly to someone nervous about starting Humira, with many sharing that it was highly effective and even a game changer for their symptoms, though several noted it eventually stopped working for them after anywhere from a few months to twelve years. Several members offered practical advice, including being cautious around sick people due to increased infection risk, watching for potential side effects like stomach upset or hair thinning, and understanding that full effectiveness may take a few months to develop. A recurring theme was hopeful encouragement mixed with realistic experiences, as members expressed prayers and support while emphasizing that everyone reacts differently to the medication.

Ive been on Humira since mid March (2021). So far so good. I do notice a difference in my hands already. My doctor says the 4th month is when Humira takes its full effect.

Humira was my wonder drug! Unfortunately it stopped working after 12 years! Now on enbrel with methotrexate. Doesn't work as well but grateful I had other options.

I loved Humira and had no problems with it. I felt great. Unfortunately it stopped working and I switched drugs but for as long as it worked for me, it was a game changer.
