A member asked:

I was on humira for ra. i kept getting head colds and sinus infections so i stopped taking it. what side effects should i expect?

RA worse. : First and foremost, your RA symptoms, both the joint pains and any extra-articular issues you may have, may worsen quite quickly. You need to discuss RA treatment plan B with your Rheumatologist.
