Hi , Im Anila. I hv recently been diagnosed as PsA. Had psoriasis since childhood , live with it and the psoriasis has not been a major issues until i had problems with join for few years until it became so bad early this year. Started on adalimumab 6 weeks ago. The result was great ! My hip & buttock pain almost dissapear. No major side effects until last 2 weeks. I feel feverish in the evening , muscle ache , sometimes like indigestion - feeling chills occasionally in cold weather or airconditioned room. Its like ur about to get some flu or something. Is it normal. If its normal , just need some reassurance. Adalimumab has done wonders to my pain that i cried the 1st week i felt the effecf

Hi Anila
I took Adalimumab for around 6 months as my first prescribed Biologic...... I took it alongside Methotrexate and it was really effective but when I had to stop the Methotrexate I began to experienced similar symptoms to you....I was changed onto Benepali and all is OK so far....I think the main thing is to talk to your Rhematolgist as there are different Biologic options and it's just trial and error to find which suits you the best...good luck.
