Should I Take Humira?
A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

To everyone who has taken Humira and medications like such to help your HS, How do you like it? Do you feel like it helped or made it worse? The only medication that has really helped to keep my HS stable is Doxycycline, but it caused me stomach problems and I really want to find out more about other treatment methods. I’m nervous to start such a medication and want to know some feedback to try and base my decision off of people who have or are currently doing the treatment, because they would… read more

I have been taking humira for around 3 years now. It definitely helped with my symptoms. There are a few side effects, it lowers your ability to fight infections. I was worried about that... Considering I already had infections with the HS. The first couple of doses were rough... Because it definitely did something to my immune system because I got a flu like reaction I guess you could say. After I got over that, it hasn't been bad at all. It helps by blocking tnf proteins that cause inflammation.

I have just been on Humira for a month. I felt a big difference after the first two initial injections. I'm not tired anymore, when I have a flare, it's different than before Humira. It's far less pain, the lesions drain and I forget about it. Before, sometimes I had a hard time walking and the pain was almost unbearable. I eat what I want now. Yesterday, I ate Pizza, today, I had Brownies for dessert. My Nurse told me that the Boils from HS comes from your body, not food and I can eat whatever I want. She said the boils I get now is the Humira going down in the Tunnels and getting the inflammation up. I was afraid of the side affects but I realized that all medicine have side affects but everyone don't get them. That's my experience with Humira. I hope I helped. 😀
