I did my second loading dose of humira (using pens) yesterday. The first dose was done by a nurse, and she showed me how to do them, but I didn't actually do any. Yesterday I did the two by myself, and while it went fine, I noticed that when I injected it looked like there was a bit of a bubble of skin (kind of like when you get a TB test but not raised as much) while the medicine was injecting. I got the full dose and it didn't seem to be a problem, but I didn't notice that happening when the nurse did it. The bubble was only there for a couple of seconds and when I took the needle out it wasn't there.
Is a bubble normal? I don't know if I should've pinched my skin more or if I should be pressing the pen down harder. The nurse told me to place it against my skin firmly, but not to push down.
Any tips or advice is welcome! Thank you!
