Well, I've started humira. I've been through all the medications I can think of and I'm twelve. Let me tell you, I don't mind shots, I don't mind IV's, I don't mind bloodwork, but that humira is AWFUL! It burns so badly! I've never cried getting needles poked in me, but I cried and almost screamed when I had to get the humira injection. I was told it wouldn't hurt, so when they put it in, it took me by surprise. If this doesn't work, I have to have surgery. The only reason I don't want it is because of it recovery time. I'm a competitive dancer and I have compititions and shows to dance in. Anyway, how do you make humira hurt less. I have to get it on New Years. I don't want to spend my New Year's Day crying...
Humors advise anyone??

Sorry you are struggling with the injections they can be horrible I used to struggle with the loud click as it would make me jump nearly every time. Have you tried icing the area before injecting I know it helps a lot of people on the forum. Also leaving the medication out of the fridge for 30mins before injecting takes some of the sting away. I am no longer on humira but on cimzia which can also sting but I have syringes now instead of the pen and I find these hurt a lot less as I control the speed the medication goes in and the cimzia comes pre prepared so I don't have to mess around filling them it might be possible to try something similar with humira. Hope you find something that works for you
