You have to do the loading dose of Humira at the start. Try putting ice on the spot you want the injection in. That will numb it a bit. Also I found that the injection in the stomach didn't hurt as much as the leg. After the loading dose, you will only have one injection a week. If you are really scared of the injection pain, you can try a product called Emla (that's what it's called in Canada). It is a local anesthetic and will totally numb the site. You have to put it on an hour before the injections. Good luck!

I've been taking humira for over a year. The pain is not so bad. You get used to it. The loading dose is a little rough, but after a while you will probably be more concerned with any leaking that occurs after -- that humira is really liquid gold. Really expensive, and it's tough to get more if you mess up your dose

Good luck. The pain ia no fun but it's only for ten seconds at a time. That's what I tell myself to get psyched up for it.

Just got through the first 4 loading doses last night. The anticipation is much worse and using ice is a great suggestion.

Glad it worked. Now you're over the worst. I hope it works well for you.

How long we have to take it the medication

But if it works it will be worth it. Pain only for 10 seconds.

I've been on it for 2+ years. I'll be on it until it is no longer effective for me. I will happily take ten seconds of pain a few times a month instead of the constant flaring.

Usually, you continue using it until your body builds up antibodies to it or some other issue comes up. If you stop certain biologics, there's a chance they might not work on you again.

I'm sorry if that upsets you to hear, but it's to get you better. Hopefully you'll find better ways of dealing with it. The loading doses are the worst, and after that it really is more manageable.
