Thank you for adding me to the forum. Hi I am 42, diagnosed with Psoriatic arthritis last year. Tried methotrexate and sulfasalazine. On humira and 2 doses so far. I feel so tired. Burning pain in legs and arms. Is there anyone who is in same boat as me or has been through this?

    Hello @535mum

    Welcome to the community! :) I am so sorry to hear you are feeling so tired and getting burning pain. I would encourage you to reach out to your GP or specialist to discuss if there is anything they can do to help or if it is a wait and see with the Humira, they can make a note of your symptoms :) 

    I have Inflammatory Bowel Disease and was on Humira. I was told that after my loading doses, it could be 3 months before I saw any difference.

    Thank you. I contacted the nurse and was told that these are the side effects. Hope it gets better with time.

    That's great, well, not that it's causing you a burning pain! But that it is a side effect that hopefully gets better so you can carry on the treatment :) Keeping my fingers crossed!
