I have rheumatoid
arthritis. I take Humira along with methotrexate. I have had my first Pfizer vaccine and no problems-just sore arm for one day. Late next week I get my second dose. Has anyone who takes these drugs had a any problems after the second dose?

(14,603 posts)the info. Good to know. I used to take hydroxychloroquine, but had to stop it 5 years ago due to eye problems from it. Does she get her eyes checked at least once a year? I took it for over thirty years and it became a problem. Most people dont have eye problems when they take it though.

pretty bad flare for over a year after I went off hydroxychloroquine, but I increased my methotrexate and eventually I got RA under control. It wasnt easy going off it I will warn.

I noticed after my first shot my sacroilacs acted up. I have AS. Second shot of Pfizer is April 7th.
Thank you for sharing. I know we *need it* but those of us who suffer physical challenges due to Autoimmune Diseases - can help each other prepare.
