Humira Side Effects

Humira (known generically as adalimumab) has been linked to serious Humira side effects, including an increased risk of a rare but usually fatal form of cancer. As a result of this increased risk, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning about the risk of Humira cancer, especially in adolescents and young adults. Humira, which is made by Abbott Laboratories, is used to treat Crohn's disease and symptoms of various forms of arthritis.

Humira Infection

Humira is in a class of drugs known as tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blocker. Other drugs in the TNF-blocker class include Enbrel and Remicade. Humira can decrease a patient's ability to fight off infections, leaving the patient at risk of developing serious infections including tuberculosis and infections caused by viruses, fungi or bacteria. Some patients have reportedly died from these infections, which can spread throughout the body.

Humira Cancer Risk

cancervaccinefd In addition to an increased risk of serious infections, the FDA issued a warning in April 2011, that some patients, mainly adolescents and young adults who were taking Humira for Crohn's disease, could be at an increased risk of a rare cancer called Hepatosplenic T-Cell Lymphoma (or HSTCL). HSTCL is a cancer of the white blood cells, is aggressive and is usually fatal, according to the FDA. This risk was increased when patients used the TNF-blocker drugs such as Humira with either azathioprine and/or mercaptopurine.

In August 2009, the FDA announced that an analysis of TNF-blocker medications showed an increased risk of lymphoma and other cancers associated with the use of those medications in children and adolescents. That discovery resulted in an update of the boxed warning for TNF-blocker medications.

Humira Lawsuits

yazmindocumentsgavel A woman who took Humira for rheumatoid arthritis during a clinical trial filed a lawsuit against Abbott Laboratories alleging her use of Humira resulted in lymphoma. The plaintiff alleges she began Humira in early 2005 and was told she was at an increased risk of tuberculosis. She reportedly stopped taking the drug when she was diagnosed with lymphoma.

Meanwhile, a lawsuit was filed against Abbott Laboratories in April 2011, alleging that use of Humira caused a woman to experience permanent nerve damage in her feet, after she took the drug to treat Crohn's disease. The lawsuit alleges that Abbott knew about the risk of peripheral neuropathy before it marketed the drug for the treatment of Crohn's disease.

Humira Medication Not for Everyone
June 12, 2011
It was just a couple of months ago that Humira was the subject of a warning by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with regard to the potential for Hepatosplenic T-Cell Lymphoma, a rare cancer involving white blood cells. However, it was 18 months prior to the release of the warning in April of this year that the FDA first revealed an analysis of tumor necrosis factor blockers, such as Humira, and adverse reactions that could ensue. These particular Humira side effects came to light in August of 2009. READ MORE

Humira Side Effects Lawsuit Filed
May 21, 2011
A lawsuit has been filed alleging Humira side effects caused permanent damage to a patient who took Humira medication for Crohn's disease. The Humira lawsuit claims Abbott Laboratories knew about the risks associated with its medication, but did not adequately warn patients about that risk. This lawsuit is separate from another lawsuit alleging patients faced Humira cancer risk from using the medication. READ MORE

I am 36 years old & have been on humira since 2010, with a 2 year break in between when my body started rejecting it. I have multiple autoimmune diseases & have now been back on Humira for the past few years. It was a miracle drug when I first started it but then I couldn't go anywhere even with a face mask & gloves without getting sick. When I restarted it a few years ago it was again a miracle drug as I got full relief of my autoimmune flare ups within the first 6 weeks & that carried on up until recently, so I thought. I spent 8 days in the hospital in August 2016 with an unknown infection. In February 2017 I became very ill & thought it was just the flu. A few days in quickcare also said it was the flu. Another few days after I felt very strange at work & decided to take my temperature. It was 108.1. I assumed okay the thermometer is clearly wrong but figured I still did have a high fever, maybe 104ish, as my fevers ususlly do run high. Something just didn't feel right & I drove myself through Atl. to the hospital. I was still convinced that it was probably a severe case of the flu since humira compromises the immune system or that is was an autoimmune flare up. Seconds after walking into the ER & attempting to sign in the triage nurse noticed something didn't look right with me & skipped the sign in process, immediately took my temp & blood pressure & pulled a red cord that set off lights & sirens all throughout the ER. I had no clue what was going on & being passing out. Was rushed back & woke up that evening in the ICU in septic shock. 4 IVs, 2 in each arm, & had no idea where I was nor how I got there. If I had arrived a minute later I would be dead. My temp was nearly 109 & blood pressure 60/33. For 4 days they couldn't get my temp to drop below 104. I've never seen so many doctors & things going on. Day 5 I was asked to call my family on speaker phone with the doctor in which she infomed us all that I was very very ill & lucky to be alive but there was still a major problem as on day 5 & all of blood taken, test after test after test, cultures you name it, they could not find the source of my sepsis. Numerous doctors explained how baffling it was to all of them & that I would remain very ill since they couldn't find the source & none of the medication concoctions they had tried were working. I felt like I was dying a slow death, literally. Some days I still have no recollection of. Week 2 an Infectious disease specialist arrived who 2 days later herself was baffled at not being able to locate the sepsis source. However luckily she did start a different medication concoction that after a few days was working. I ended up getting pneumonia while there from so many IV fluids & being bedridden unable to move. Of course this only complicated & prolonged things more. Luckily I survived it but it was a very long recovery process. I was homebound for 2 months following my release & suffered what they call post sepsis disorder. I became severely germaphobic, socially inverted, afraid of going anywhere in fear I would get sick, etc etc etc. It took 6 or so months to start to subside. To this day, October 1, 2018 they still don't know what caused it. Recently I started becoming very ill again & have bleeding stomach ulcers, severe insomnia even with 2 prescription sleeping meds, night sweats, skin rashes, excruciating foot pain & skin cracking, hair falling out, swollen lymph nodes in my neck, a chemical burn feeling on my cheeks, ears, chin, & neck. Severe back pain & fatigue. Still my dr. says to continue the humira. Last Friday I had an appointment with an optometrist because I also recently lost half vision in my left eye, I've always had 20/20 vision so this was concering to me. I spent half the day there with again a baffled doctor. Turns out I have optic inflammation in both eyes & a bunch of other stuff I have no idea what it means. She then asked if I happened to be autoimmune & take any meds for it. When I said yes & then humira she stopped me immediately & scheduled an emergency appointment with a Retina specialist to take a picture of the back of my eyes. When I went in with this vision issue it never had crossed my mind that humira would be the cause. Since just finding all this out I decided to jump on the internet & read if others have experienced this. To my surprise after reading eveyone else's comments I am baffled & now convinced that my sepsis had to of been caused by humira. Also that all of my other recently acquired issues & symptoms are a result of humira. I had 117 biopsies done on Aug. 24th of this year, 29 of which came back abnormal. As well as other issues I'm scheduled to see other specialists for over the next weeks. I'm a bit overwhelmed after reading all of the nightmare issues y'all have went through. And knowing I have been taking this medication nearly 10yrs & only 36 years old. My next injection is this Wednesday & I am scared to even think about taking it although the prescribing doctor insist that I do.

I took humira and developed renal cell carcinoma had entire left kidney removed. If you read so many people are developing kidney cancer, solid organ cancer, and many other types of cancer. DO NOT inject this stuff, I wish I never did, ifyou do use it , insist on scans to check for solid organ masses. Good luck, if you are injecting any biologic...you will need it.

Omg, this site is beyond shocking! My husband wasn’t feeling well for the last week. He went to the doctor, and passed out in the waiting room. He is now in the ICU with a serious infection! The doctors say it was caused from Humira! How the hell does the FDA approve such a drug!!!

I was put on Humira in December 2014 and stopped taking Humira end on January 2015 for RA. I had extreme night sweats, little doughnut shaped hard painful blisters all over my fingers and hands. All blisters went away 6weeks after stopping Humira. Ended up in hospital with 40+ enlarged lymph nodes (size of my thumb) in my abdomen and an enlarged spleen (1.5x). Spent 20 days on the surgical ward and had inguinal lymph node removal surgery. Nothing found. Still no doctor can explain why I had this reaction.
The reason I ended up in hospital was because I had lost 52# of muscle mass in 7 weeks and had symptoms of lymphoma. Night sweats, lethargy, extreme fatigue, loss of appetite etc...
I did have one dr say I may have fought off early stage lymphoma but he could not be sure as the tests came back negative.
I am not not sure where to go from here.
I have no cartilage left in my knees, am in a lot of pain every day and night and I do not sleep well anymore.

Any help from the readers would be great. Thank you.

I took humira for 18 months had severe head sweats at night torso grew very big, had swelling of feet and was severely tired. I had trouble breathing, went to VA. hospital they did a CT scan and they found 10 to 12 lymph nodes in chest area, golf ball to tennis ball size they should be the size of a grain of rice. after a week in hospital they said I had stage 4 Hogkins Lymphoma. I had a terrible time with Chemo twice to emergency,spent 3 months in bed no energy. after 6 months Chemo cancer free, but freezing feet 24 hours neuropathy very bad and also left ventricle 30% to inclusive; another test coming up. on line Humira says they may pay for pain and suffering but no because of black box saying it can cause this. Please don't take this drug too many side effects Stanford also said this. This cancer does not show in blood work. Also took methotrexate with this, bad also.

I was put on Humira for my chronic psoriatic arthritis...I was on it for about a year it never worked...but my immune system started acting up and I got bronchitis real bad..so bad that I got cysts in my throat and also I coughed so.much I broke two ribs..I had bronchitis for 4 months...I ended up stopping the humira...I started getting bad stomach aches..I went to my Dr I asked if possible can I get a colonoscopy..they said you are not scheduled for one tell 5 more years..but my stomach problems were getting bad..the Dr finally agreed to have me see a colon specialist..I had a colonoscopy...they found a huge polyp in my upper colon...had it removed..it was cancer stage 2...they said if I woukd of waited the 5 years to have the colonoscopy it would of been stage 4..I was lucky ...YOU have to be your own aware if your body..make people ..Drs..listen...I strongly believe biologics do mire harm then good...my opinion ..I had colon surgery 2016..the cancer did not spread but I had 12 inches if colon taken out and lympnoids...I was in the hospital for 5 days..I get a colonoscopy every year...
I believe the Humira gave me the cancer.

If you intend on taking Humira do yourself the hugest favor in the world and actually research this drug before you start it. Don't take the word of the doctor as they get sold on medications by the drug vendor. You can obtain squamous cell cancer on this (which is treatable in the early stages and is survivable-on the black box warning). What they don't tell you is cancer most likely will come back in a different form. Small cell cancer was diagnosed for me because the drug attacked my liver and with me having Rheumatoid Arthritis already, the immune system is already low and cancer will spread like wildfire. Ask for something else and get this poison off the market

I have been taking humira since 2015, and my doctor never mentioned cancer as a possible side-effect. A few months ago i got prostrate cancer and had an operation to remove it. I moved to the UK where the NHS first told me that there was a link to cancer and that they won't supply me with humira.

I am amazed that discovery health in South Africa, my private health care provider, allowed me to take a drug with such dodgy side-effects, or even the slightest risk of such health effects, and lost hundreds of thousands of rand putting things right through an operation and tests etc.

I injected Humira for RA for about 18 months and developed a triple negative, aggressive, fast growing stage 3 tumour in my breast. Am not convinced that sufficient trials are being done for long enough on this drug. Of course, I was told that there is no evidence that Humira had any part in the cancer developing - strange tho, as it is a TNF blocker. I'm female, mid 50's and caucasian and not a typical candidate for this type of tumour apparently.

I have rheumatoid arthritis and was told to take this, but after reading the fine print on the FDA site and Humira site, chose not to. I looked for natural alternatives. Wheat grass, kelp and change in diet has helped me tremendously! Do your research people. Humira shuts down your body's ability to fight infection and cause fast growing and deadly cancers. You can get better without these cancer causing drugs. I know of a man that recently has been hospitalized and is on life support, because of going septic from taking Humira. How many innocent people have to die? Save your life and live. Don't take Humira!

I have been using Humira to treat my Ankylosing Spondylitis since May 2016. The results have been very positive. I am no longer experiencing morning stiffness. I am able to take part in some activities that I had difficulty with before (ie. golf). I am in my late 50's, and of course the drug cannot reverse the effects that developed over the years (ie. fusion of some discs).

Since I have met people with ra and psoriasis and Crohn's including my granddaughter which is symptom free I wanted to look into Humira and into Embril, to see exactly how drug biologics worked. I came across this site and read what people were saying and I wondered if they had tried Shaklee supplements with about a 70 to 80% organic plant-based diet meaning being tested and possibly finding out what allergies they had to certain foods. My granddaughter was highly allergic to Dairy beef and lamb. She has been on a Shaklee food supplement regimen and mostly plant-based diet for the last 13 years with no reoccurrence. I am not a doctor but I would be willing to share what I know and possibly refer people 2 others with more knowledge than myself.

My husband was started on Humira for psoriatic arthritis in Sept and took a total of 3 injections before he started to have neurological side effects. He bagan with severe dizziness, double vision and at times a total loss of vision. He was hospitalized for 7 days and had every test done to figure out what was wrong. He had 2 spinal taps and that is where it was determined to be brain inflammation and was diagnosed with Encephalitis and Aseptic meningitis due to drug induced with Humira being the probable cause. He was in rehab for another 3 weeks. He has Ataxia, loss of balance, loss of coordination, slurred speech, blurry vision, and us dependent for all care. I am his primary caregiver and our lives have been uprooted!!

I took Humira a total of the two first shots and two to follow. After the last one I had such a bad reaction. My upper arm ached and my hand would fall asleep so bad it would take over a hour to be able to use it and that is if I worked at trying everything to get it to wake up..(tingled and hurt like hell), had problems with my eye sight, equal liberm ( I would try to stand up and keep falling back into my chair), I had sinus problems and my lower back was killing me...but what really got me was my right foot felt like every blood vessel broke in the side of my foot, could not walk for over a week, both feet and ankles, lower legs were fire red with extreme swelling and my legs ache all the time, I quit taking it and will never take it again or anything like it. its been two weeks now and my hand is still falling asleep, and still having a lot of swelling in my feet and legs, and eye sight is still not back to normal or my equal liberm.

I have been injecting humira on and off, mostly off for 4 years. I have RA. Problem is I'm terrified of humira so have been using low dose prednisone as needed. I haven't used humira since June because it gave me lupus type rashes three times and constant herpes infections. I'm 58 years old but feel 90. Very hard disease. I've tried everything, diets, fasts, supplements, even sat in a radon cave for 10 days. Wish there was a cure......I considered injecting today because I'm in a flare and my hands are getting slowly deformed. Sick of suffering.

My husband was given his first infusion of Humira in July 2014, for Rheumatoid arthritis. Exactly two weeks later, he collapsed. He was put on life support, with a tracheostomy. In neuroscience Intensive care for one month. A further four months hospitalisation and rehabilitation. I am now his carer. His balance is poor, he has a weak left side and our lives are 'disabled'. His neurologist could find no other cause and reported it as a possible adverse reaction to Humira. We were told that as there were no other cases like this, it could not be certain of the cause. The neurologist said that she was 90% convinced that Humira was the only likely factor that caused this devastating event, from all the thorough tests that she, and other specialities did. He was treated in a centre of excellence-the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford UK

I was using Humira for rheumatoid arthritis and just this past February i was diagnosed with cancer on my tongue. It was the worst tumors the doctors have ever seen. Does anyone else know if Head, Neck and Tongue cancer can be a result of taking the Humira. I only took it about a year. Then I had knee surgery and they stopped me from taking it saying it was no longer needed.

My ex-husband died on 2/22/2016 from the side effects of taking Humira. Per his death certificate, he died of prescription drug induced respiratory failure, septic shock, and pulmonary Tuberculosis. He had been prescribed Humira in July of 2013 for rheumatoid arthritis in his hands by a licensed rheumatologist in Santa Cruz, California.

He died at Mayo Newhall Hospital in Santa Clarita, California.
He was on a respirator for weeks and was unable to fight the infection due to his weakened immune system brought on by taking Humira. He tested negative for TB before being prescribed this drug.

Humira reduces one's ability to fight infections especially pnuemonia and TB.

Got on humira after my chrons came back after a few years of remission. Started in november of 2015 and in about April 2016, I started having a rash on my feet, then my hands. The skin started peeling off in layers and also patches of psoriasis all over my body. Believe it to be palmopustular psoriasis, and psoriasis as a direct result of the meds. Dermatologist took a biopsy of my foot today to try and see what the cause of this us, and what it is. Now they suggested remicade, which I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT WANT TO TAKE, due to the serious lymphoma and cancer, liver and organ failure side effects, besides brain swelling, death, etc. I just want relief from my UC and chrons. I do not know if the psoriasis or palmopustular psoriasis is permanant, or will go away after stopping the humira, and also, remicade has a possible psoriasis side effect as well. How I could get this ppp as a side effect from a drug that is also supposed to treat psoriasis. I could use any advice. I cannot even work because my feet are so sore I can hardly walk, much less stand for more than 5 or 10 minutes at a time. I am going to try for possible disability, I guess, as I am certainly unable to work my life long profession of finish carpentry and kitchen and bathroom remodeling specialist. Any advice would be helpful.

I started on Humira for Ulcerated Colitis disease August 8, 2014. I am fatigue all the time. I am anemic HGB 10.9 Lymphocytes are at 57 segmented neutrophils 31 and absolute neutrophils 1.5 also I have gained over 35 pounds and managed to lose 7. My doctor insist this is not the result of the Humira and I need to stay on this medication because I am at risk for colon cancer. I have dealt with my Ulcerated Colitis since 1975 and this is the worst I am feeling. I am just looking for answers

I took Humira once(the initial dose of 4 pens) in June 2014/July 2014 to put my Colitis in remission and ended up having a SEVERE allergic reaction. In the hospital I was diagnosed hypereosinophiliac syndrome(HES). This syndrome is deadly if genetically inherited A year later from I was put on prednisone to keep that under control.

I started taking humira because Cortison didn't help anymore for my Colitis. 1 year After taking Humira just after giving birth I got diagnosed with tuberculosis and my newborn baby too. The docs persuaded me to take it during pregnancy Even I had doubts. As appartently it's safe during pregnancy. What a false information. Now I and my Baby have to suffer. Don't take Humira or the like If you're pregnant or better don't even take it at all. It's definately a life threatening medication which should be avoided.

Husband was on Humira for psoriasis. It worked great but then a Doctor changed him to Embral. That also worked well. After 7 years on these drugs he was diagnosed with RCC and had to have Kidney removed. Cancer was hopefully contained in the removed kidney. But only time will tell. After researching RCC and Humira, and with the info on his tumor that they believe started growing around 5 years ago, I truly believe Humira is the cause of his cancer. Wish someone would believe me.

I started Humira in the spring of 2015. I was told it was my best option to control Crohns. I progressively weakened over several months. I believe I was misdiagnosed as I have no symptoms of Crohns now that I am off Humira. I have bouts of paralysis, severe skin lesions, eye infection, twitching, difficulty sleeping. The list is endless. The company's nurse (Abbott) encouraged me to continue Gimme a despite issues early on saying that it takes 3+ months for the body to adjust. My life has been completely altered & I suffer daily. My husband & kids lives are altered. I barely can work now & spend hours at doctor's or physical & occupational therapy. DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG OR ALLOW IT TO BE PUSHED ON YOU! Abbott packages it up nicely & sells it using home nurses as salespeople. It is dangerous & I should not have trusted the company nurse concerning the side effects. I should have known better & now my life is turned upside down.

My wife was taking Humira for her Crohns Disease, she was part of the Canadian study to get it approved for use to help with fistulas. She has been diagnosed with Stage 4 Adenocarcinoma which is on the outside of her bowel believed to have started on a fistula, which has spread into her lymph system and possibly liver. The prognosis is bleak, she is 43 with two kids 6 and 14. Where was the warning, and where is help from Abbott Pharm to help battle this nightmare. Chemo caused septis, 25 treatments of radiation is planned with surgery to follow , if there is no spread further.

After using Humira for about 4+ years, I came down with palmoplantar pustulosis psoriasis all over my body and it started spreading, all over my hands and feet, between legs, and on my back. It is hard to walk because my feet are always feeling strong pain. My skin is peeling off my hands, feet and legs. My feet are having spasm every day and night.

I started taking humira for pustular psoriasis on my right hand and my left leg . After only 4 injections I was covered with enterococcus bacteria and a worsening case of psoriasis from my scalp to the entire rest of my body. I was put in the hospital due to infection . Now I'm trying to find an attorney who will represent me . I have been told by doctors that it's very odd that humira would cause my psoriasis to worsen . But in my case it did and my life has been completely altered

Heart problems, growth of lumps, constant fatigue. I also have other health problems that I have been diagnosed with after using humira but not sure if they are from the humira or not.
