I take Humira. It's my first drug (I started in 2023). I do like it, but there are just a few problems. First there is the itching at the site. I get about a 3" lump and boy does it itch. The other is that my doctor went from being 14 days apart, to 10 days, to 7 days, and back up to the 10th day. I understand that I may have to do that, but I find it very confusing. Other things are like my nails being vertically ridged and breaking down the middle, but that seems to be RA rather than the medicine. I haven't had a loss in appetite or nausea.
Members have shared varied experiences with Humira. Some report that their bodies may eventually stop responding to the medication after a few years, requiring them to switch to different treatments. This is a normal occurrence that your rheumatologist will monitor.
