Hi Erica,

I was on Humira and developed an allergic reaction. Developed hives around my knees and the lower portion of my legs. My Rheumatologists stopped the injections and placed me on Rituxan instead. So far, it's working well with very little side effects.

Thank you so much for answering my question Maggie63. I’m still waiting to see if it’s Humira causing the Itchy Hives all over my body.

I feel so much relief knowing that it could be the Humira.

I have heard that some drugs may cause rashes or hives, mostly on chest area.
I would call your doctor and get more information and feel better.
Hope you feel better soon.
Hugs
