So I join the Humira club tomorrow...

[Gems867]

So tomorrows the big day! I am anxious/nervous but excited. Still worried about the possible side effects but very hopeful that Humira can make me feel "normal". It has been so long since I have felt normal. Really hope it will reduce my trips to the restroom. How great would that be!

Happy Halloween Everyone! :hallo3:

Hey everything will be just fine! I had no problem are you using the Pen or syringe?

Happy Halloween too!

 

[Gems867]

Pen. Do you feel sick or anything after the 1st dose?

I think I just felt a little tired after my first loading doses. Sometimes I get a headache for a few hours so I do my injection just before bed and sleep through any immediate effects.

Hope it works well for you.

Pen. Do you feel sick or anything after the 1st dose?

It has been two years since I was on it. But no, I felt nothing, no nausea, no headache, just a bit of a "bee sting" for a about 30 seconds. Everyone is different. Try not to get too anxious...it is really nothing.

Like Beth did, some get headaches but not me...Let us know how it turns out. Brave face now

 

[Gems867]

So did the loading dose today. Had a little headache but nothing bad!

 

[Crohn's 35]

See not so bad eh? Did it sting?

 

[Gems867]

A little but not too bad

 

[beth]

Cool. Welcome to the club!

 

[Dunbar]

Welcome! I am also of the no problems users. Zip, nada. I did get too close to a hip bone once, I fixed that by putting on ten pounds. Heehee I also have to say I feel better, look better, function better and my family feels better too. I wish the best for you.
