Humira and Rosie

[Rosie]

Hello.... again....


Things have been crazy since I last posted......

I can't remember if I got back to you guys on the plan but I definitely have Psoriatic arthritis, apparently very little skin involvement, but several joints and enthesis is where I am now...... after a big fight with the insurance company, Humiar was approved for me......

I started Humira last week and the 5th day after the injection I developed a severe cellulitis in my elbow.....We are hoping it is not in the joint..... the big concern was whether it was bursitis and also there is a concern about MRSA....... I have been loaded up with antibiotics and the plan is to restart the Humira after I finish 2-3 weeks of antibiotics......

Even in this short time, with the Humira and a job change where I am able to move around more, I was starting to feel better..... now my right arm is so swollen and painful that I can hardly do anything.......


I am hoping this is just a small setback.....

I will post pictures as soon as I figure out how to do is..... Cellulitis is a possible side effect of Humira and mine started with pain.... well when you have different pains all the time, it is hard to know when it is something to worry about, I ma glad that I called right away and have a great Doctor since she said one more day would probably put me in the hospital for IV antibiotics......so i want everybody on Humira to know about it........

Doesn't look so good Rosie.
Be careful. If this medication is not fit for you body then you should go searching for another. There are still several possibilities.

In the mean time I hope you recover from your problems soon !!
keep up !

Posting Picts is easy. Put them somewhere, on flickr, panoramio, whatever and then use the links to display them in a page. Uploading to the forum is not possible.

Hello Rosie, good to hear from you again. Humira is one of the Bio's that some have great results with and others don't, keeping fingers crossed for you.

Re images, Caroline is right you need to host your images elsewhere. This thread may help: [Group Specific]

Well I hope everything is ok! Humira was a miss for me. Caused me to flare on the off week, like my body wanted another shot.
