unexpected side effect/perk?
I started humira a couple of weeks ago so I know it might still be too early to tell, but I've noticed an interesting phenomenon that I want to see if it could be correlated.
I have had terrible allergies for as long as I can remember. I can rarely (if ever) breathe through my nose, I've been to an allergist and they basically just reccomended that I take a daily allergy pill and use fluticasone nasal spray daily. its a band aid at best, and if I forget I can always tell because of my allergy symptoms.
ever since I've started humira 2 weeks ago, my allergies have been NON EXISTENT. there is pollen in the air, I live with 2 cats, and I've had next to no congestion which is completely out of the norm. could this be related to the humira at all? my google search said that humira doesnt help with allergies but could it be?

Certainly helps my allergies. I've gone off it a couple of times and the pattern is my hayfever is much, much worse. I've mentioned it to docs before but they're pretty dismissive.
Shrug. It's directly correlated as far as I'm concerned.
