Neurological Concerns With Humira
|
| |
 |
Could extended use of Humira cause TIA's, strokes and/or short term disorientation? |
 |
To my knowledge, what you describe has not been reported. However, there have been rare reports of demyelinating syndromes (multiple sclerosis like problems) with Humira and the other TNF inhibitors (Remicade, Enbrel). The symptoms can be variable and you should discuss this with your rheumatologist and see a neurologist if needed. |
