    Hello, I don't take these drugs as I have OA. I think that you should ring your doctor and get some advice. There is a good chance that the strange feelings are to do with another medical condition and not the new ra drugs. In anycase, they should be able to give you something to help with dizziness. But you need the right advice and your doctor should know what is going on. When you lie down, it may feel better. Someone with experience of this drug may give you some more information than I can.
    Take care love Sue

    Hi there

    I have been on Humira for about 10 months but I am afraid I don't recognise these side effects - lots of others but not these!!!

    In fact, I am coming off it shortly because of numerous chest infections which are also a side effect.

    In your place, I would certainly be calling my rheumy with your worries. These are mighty powerful drugs and I think all worries should be checked.

    I hope you feel better soon
