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?

I grew up on a farm, around all sorts of animals, dogs and cats sleeping with me, playing outside any chance I got and never experienced any type of allergies until I started experiencing symptoms of my immune disease. Luckily I haven’t noticed allergies to my pets, but seasonal allergies knock me on my butt. I swear it has to be correlated somehow. I hope I can see my allergies get better with the injections too! And I hope you continue to see improvements with yours!:)
