Humira and neuropathy

Posted by seniormed @seniormed, Mar 25 8:23am

Developing sensorimotor stocking neuropathy on adalimumab for
psoriatic arthritis. Has anyone changed drugs for possible adverse reaction?

@seniormed, Sorry to hear about the adverse neuropathy side effects from taking Humira. Hoping members with some experience can offer what worked for them. I did see a Mayo article on the topic but not sure if it will help.

@dadcue posted an article on alternatives for psoriatic arthritis in another discussion here - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/1010415/ that might be helpful. Are you able to discuss possible alternatives with your rheumatologist?

I don't remember posting this but the links are both the same. I was on Humira for about 3 months for a condition similar to psoriatic arthritis. I have reactive arthritis with uveitis which are in the same family of disorders with psoriatic arthritis.

My only problem with Humira was that it didn't work well for PMR. Had I not had PMR, Humira might have worked for me.

I don't know the connection that neuropathy has with autoimmune disorders. I definitely have neuropathy but mine is called idiopathic. For all I know, my neuropathy could be autoimmune too.

Sorry Mike @dadcue and @seniormed, I messed up the link to your post in another discussion and just now fixed it. This was the post that I should have linked - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/1010415/.
