Guest guest Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 I was wondering if I could ask for some advice about Humira from anyone who has tried it, sucessfully and unsucessfully. I have already heard of two experiences, one good and one very bad. I stopped enbrel a month ago. After trying it for 4 months, my rheumy told me to stop taking it as I was getting too many of the side effects including heart issues. It is being debated whether enbrel has given or induced wolfe parkinson white or something else that is making my heart race at 120-140 beats a min. I have just been approved for Humira and as you can imagine, I am very worried about beginning because of my experience with enbrel. I need to try another TNF inhibitor because my PA is quite bad, but after reading the list of side effects, humira seems much worse than enbrel...it is frightening. I would really appreciate to hear about any experiences of bad reactions to Humira. Only as a precaution so that if something does go wrong I will be aware and can get on top of it quickly. With enbrel, my heart was getting worse and worse as the months rolled on, and I thought it was just breathlessness from costrocondritis and asthma. So I really want to know anything I can about it and not have another problem from trying it. Enbrel worked wonderfully for my pain. My energy levels were great at first too until the heart problem started. I'm really hanging out to take my first dose of Humira and want it to work badly, but I am also very nervous of what may happen and want to be aware and alert to any complications.
