Re: I have a question, please

Hello,

I get burning for about an hour afterwards...like acid injected into

the skin...but no rash or itching. i would let the doc know ASAP as

well as report your findings to humira. You doc should be able to

give you advice on where to continue with humira or stop.

Its been my personal experience that if I get itching from a med...it

only gets worst and leads to full anaphylactic reaction if I

continue. This is how I learned of my allergy to sulfa.

something fierce! I also had to take some Benadryl tonight because my

eyes have been itching really bad. It took away the itch within 1/2

hour, which is great, but I am a bit concerned about the rash. I also

have asthma and allergies, and I don't want to have an allergy attack

which leads to asthma. I suppose I should be calling my Dr. to ask her

Sandy, it sounds like an allergic reaction of some kind. I use Humira but

never had anything that bad. .Only a tiny rash at the injection site. Please

call youur doc to make sure. HUGS
