How to treat flu syndrome after each injection

[CROHNSMOM100]

On humira for 9 months. Every injection has been followed by 3-4 days of flu-like exhaustion, body aches, nausea etc. Trying to find any way to prevent or combat these symptoms and would appreciate advice of others dealing with this side effect.

I don't know very much about Humira, so I am not sure how much help I will be. Other than the side effects after the dose, how is it working? Have you talked to the doctor about the flu-like symptoms? He/She might have some advice how to alleviate or avoid these symptoms. I am going to tag EthanPSU into this thread, He is on Humira and he may know how to help more than I can.

this is a documents side effect but the severity is pretty high and duration long. the doctor does not have any answers, nor does the manufacturer.

sorry - meant "documented" side effect. 7% are listed as having this.

I never had any experience with flu-like symptoms after my injections or really any kind of sickness since being on Humira. How long after your injections do the symptoms start?
