I have ulcerative colitis and started taking Amgevita after a flare up. Symptoms improved almost immediately and for about 18 months all was great no inflammation. Now almost 2 years in bowels are going the other way quite blocked up a lot of the time and I need to take movicol to keep things moving. Not sure if the meds are causing this but I never had this before

I was successful treated with Humira over 5 years, probably closer to 10 years. My HMO switched formulary to Amjevita. Over the coarse of a month or two of Amjevita my Rheumatoid Arthritis returned full force swollen joints and fatigue being the main issues. My feet looked like large potato from the swelling and I was mostly bedridden from fatigue. I am now trying Simponi infusions. Amjevita did not work at all for me.

After I stopped taking methotrexate because it made me so ill I thought I was dying I was lucky to be given Amgevita. I can say without doubt it has changed my life. I am dancing again and walking with friends . My garden which is my passion was becoming to hard to handle but I am now out there again pottering and I love it. All these things are now done at a slower pace but I am content with that after being totally immobile and riddled with pain.

I lived with Rheumatoid Arthritis for 26 years before Adalimumab was offered by then I had learnt to live with pain in my feet, knees, elbows, wrists, hands and sometimes jaw locking. My life was limited, no surgery offered. I injected in the morning and no pain by the afternoon. That was 8 years ago, I have had lung infection once a year since, eye sight has diminished but I do not know if it is due to the treatment. I am on no other medication. And I stay away from stress. I have had a good life since, active, eat healthy and I have reached the age of 56. Read More Read Less

I suffer from psoriatic arthritis and have been injecting 40mg of Humira every 2 weeks for 6/7 years, this drug as helped dramatically, before Humira I was in incredible pain especially my knees an jaw. I had several hospital stays where my knee would have to keep being drained and Ultra sound treatments on my jaw alongside high dosage steroids and many steroid injections. Upon beginning my Humira Iâ??d say it took about 6 months for me to get back to normal, plus the best part is Iâ??ve never had a jaw problem since or joints having to be drained. However (sorry) Iâ??ve been under ENT for 18 months due to having a very narrow oesophagus, constant sore throat and hoarse voice which Iâ??d never linked until reading side affects recently, obviously I donâ??t know if this is linked but Iâ??d much rather have a sore throat than painful joints. If your doctor offers you Humira you would be silly to refuse it, good luck ð???Read More Read Less

after fifty years of psoriasis, where severity has ranged from just a few spots to being so covered in scale that you could not put a twenty-cent piece down anywhere without touching it, and having that dreadful persistent itch, this drug has been a real life-saver for me. After just sixteen weeks of treatment, I have never had skin this clear as an adult. Now, we'll see how long this improvement lasts..

I injected this medication as directed for several months. It had no effect on my flare up of Crohn's Disease. My gastroenterologist, then, switched my therapy to Remicade.

Humira started working for me the next day! Shots hurt but 30 seconds of pain is well worth not being sick all the time!

However, at the end of 3mths. on this drug, significant improvement was again apparent and has been maintained since that time , to the extent that disease activity is minimal and I have more energy and a general feeling of being well,(apart from the mechanical damage from many years of active disease. 6 joint replacements and surgery to hands. I am over the moon with the results from this drug, and so far, apart from some diarea for the first 2mths., have experienced no ill effects. In fact I haven't felt this well in many years.Read More Read Less
