Guest guest Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Last week, about one hour after my Humira injection, I broke out all over my body (with the exception of my face, palms and soles of my feet) with a horrible splothy rash. I waited a few days for it to fade, and it never did. Called my rheumatolgists office, and the nurse told me this was most certainly a reaction to the Humira, which I have been on for several years. Evidently, this can happen, no matter how long you have taken it. Went to my dermatologist yesterday and now on light treatmenet three times a week, and she did lots of blood work. She is reluctant to start prednisone until she talks with my rheumatoligst. I also have a " must get in to see " appointment with the rheumatoligist in two days. My question is, if anyone has had this reaction, how long did it take go away? What treatments were recommended by your doctors? Especially would like to know what happens next? Enbrel quit working for me, the Humira now is out of the question, so what next? Thanks for any feedback you can give me on this. (who looks pretty awful now!)
