Humira is what caused this huge breathing ordeal, my Doctor and I assumed it was a typical asthma flare. But normal treatment didn’t help anything. Referred to Pulmonary specialist he said it’s the Humira that’s causing my breathing trouble not my Asthma flaring up.
So we stopped the shot , which I have gone 3 weeks with out now, so that is when factoring in the 3-6 month half life actually starts.
So the half life of Humira is 3-6 months which is huge. But my Rheumatologist doesn’t want to start me of a different biologic until my breathing goes back to normal. Biologics have there own set of side effects and there are some big risks.
So basically hurry up and wait. Pains increasing daily and not the psoriasis is beginning to flare, again.
I see the Pulmonary specialist on the 16th for a follow up from my Pulmonary functions test. I’m “ hoping” he will have some idea of when this might clear up, but potentially this could drag on for 3-6 months which if it happens to take that long I’m really going to struggle both mentally and physically.
