Hi Nia - welcome to the forum! My Humira started kicking in on day 6 after the first injections, but it is different for everyone. How many injections have you had? Are you taking anything else?
Hope you start feeling it working really soon!

Only taken one injection two weeks ago, also on small dose prednisolone, but disaster...I came out in a rash which has now completely covered me... I look like an aubergine...so they are looking at thing tomorrow, am so disappointed because this drug seemed the answer to all my probs!
thanks for responding!
