i have been on humira for 2 years. i had no side effects i have noticed, but i am a little tired the day after my shot. i have not had a huge boil or cyst since i've started it. i've had some small flares of activity in previous lesions when i've been ill but they did not become life altering. i still have to clean out old tunneling and pits from scarring, but humira changed my life with HS. i also have severe RA and it has helped with that, too.
