First, please take a breath — it's completely understandable to feel scared, and reaching out was the right thing to do. Swollen neck glands and extreme fatigue after starting adalimumab are symptoms that need to be checked out by a doctor as soon as possible. Please don't wait on this one. Adalimumab works by calming your immune system, which means your body may not fight infections as well as it normally would. Swollen glands and fatigue can sometimes be signs of an infection that needs prompt medical attention.

Please contact your doctor, go to an urgent care clinic, or head to an emergency room right away — especially if you also have any of the following:

- Fever or chills
- Trouble breathing
- Rash or hives
- Feeling worse quickly

You are not overreacting. These are exactly the kinds of symptoms your care team needs to know about. Your safety comes first, so please seek medical help today.
