Humira- clear for 3 days then back to usual

[Generation]

Hi,vim taking humira. After about 3-4 weeks since I started it, I noticed no difference until over the course of about 3 days my skin became completely clear. From 90% coverage to clear! But hen I woke up one day after injecting to see it coming back. And the next day, today, it's almost as bad as originally. I was wondering if this suggests my body will always find a way around it and whether or not I should expect to ever be clear on this again?

Many thanks

Firstly let me say    Generation to the club. I'm glad you have found us and have posted a question
Here we are all just the same as you with one form or another of psoriasis and all looking for an answer.
I have never used a biological so I'm not really the person to comment but I just wanted to welcome you and say always come and chat about any concerns as we have a good mix of members who will probably be able to answer or at least empathise with you

One other thing ( you will notice I run on a bit    ) if and it's a big if the Humira fails you the dermatologists have a big arsenal of other drugs and one will work for you
Read through the prescribed treatment boards of others experiences with other drugs

I personally think that the fact Humira worked so quickly and then the psoriasis came back may just be your body adjusting to the new drug .... I would say keep the faith in Humira and give it a bit longer before you have negative thoughts ... Positivity is a great help to assist the clearing in my opinion

Also you will always be made welcome as a member in the off topic section which is a bit more light hearted and you can meet and chat about other things to take your mind off the psoriasis and know you are with fellow sufferers

Hello Generation   to Psoriasis Club.

I would say it could be a good idea to tell your dermatologist as it is sounding like one of the side effects of Humira, see here: Humira (adalimumab)

What should I watch for AFTER starting HUMIRA?

* Psoriasis (new or worsening). Symptoms include red scaly patches or raised bumps that are filled with pus.

Humira's own website says: "Call your doctor or get medical care right away if you develop any of the above symptoms."

It could be just your body adjusting, but Humira can sometimes do this to people so best to let them know what is going on. Don't worry they can stop Humira and put you onto another Bio, Humira works very well for some people but for some it can cause problems (I myself had a reaction to it)  

Please keep us updated as your input could help others.

Regards.

Fred.
