Humira sting

[Guest guest]

Hi Tammy....I had a horrible problem with the humira. Long story but I

injected the humira and it didn't quit the burning sensation..it kept right on

burning. It was so bad, I couldn't sleep with a sheet over my leg...had to

sleep with the sheet off and a fan blowing on my leg. Humira has a caustic

acid in it and that caused the burn..whereas the burning stops for some

people, it never did for me and caused an ulcer in my leg. I called the dr and

he said to take benadryl before I inject, i did, it wasnt as bad but it

still burnt and kept on burning but not as long. The first time I did it, the

burn never went away. The injection caused me to have a pressure ulcer that

had to be treated at the wound care center. I went there for a month so they

could check on it. I had to pack and unpack the sore in my leg. This is a

rare happening and most people have no problem with it. I compared the

ingred between the humira and the enbrel and there is a caustic acid listed on

the ingred for the humira where there is not one w/enbrel. I now use enbrel

that I self mix. I did call the FDA , wrote to them and also wrote and

called Humira Abbott about it. They told me that some people do have a problem

with the burning but most do not. Not very comforting to those that do

have that problem. I switched to the enbrel self mix and have been fine with

that. it doesn't contain a preservative since it's self mix.
