What Causes Recurring Water Infections While On Humira Injections For Psoriasis?
I have had repeated water infections over last 6 months and awaiting a scan to investigate but this week I just can t stay awake. If I start writing or reading the next thing I know is I m waking up....dropped pen/iPad/phone . I recently lost my mum after her suffering Alzheimers so went away to Sitaly to rest but has made no differance. Something doesn t feel right. My health is quite complex iam on Humira injections for Psoriasis,have high blood pressure and arthritis. I m I tune with my body, that s why I feel something other than usual going on. I m thinking vitamin B12 deficiency OR my kidneys. Hat do you think?

Hello,
As per my clinical experience, the Humira contains Adalimumab a known agent having monoclonal antibodies properties, used in various auto immune disorders to modify the underlying immune response. There are multiple side effects of Humira injections such as:
- Lowering of white blood cell counts
- Recurrent infections with bacteria
- Fever
- Allergy in form of rash or itching
- Heart problems
- Neurological side effects
It is the low ability of body`s natural immune response to fight against possible microbes, one gets easily water infections.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
