Ankylosing Spondylitis
"I have been suffering from ankylosing spondylitis for several years. My condition got so bad I couldn&#039;t walk, undress myself, get in or out of bed unaided and didn&#039;t sleep through the night without pain. Tried several drugs that had no effect and the joints in my back, ribs and pelvis continued to fuse. Then I started Humira 4 months ago and I haven&#039;t had a single bit of pain anywhere since. The only problem I have with it is the injection site is very swollen, hot and itchy and the drug itself can give you quite a sting but I can now lead a normal active life, so for me the side effects are well worth it but I am concerned about the long term effects of this drug."
