I start my Humira tomorrow and I was wondering where the best place to take the Pen injection is.

I am a college student and will be walking campus and stairs a lot and I was thinking of the stomach.

But I want to here some opinions! Thanks!
 
They told me they would come out to my house. We will see
How it goes. I wonder if I should have someone here to learn
with me to get over those panic moments! I am sure I will
have them!

My dad is going with me tomorrow. And then next time I go my boyfriend is going with me. And then either of them will do them when I dont want to.. haha.
 
I personally use the stomach area all the time, stings for 10-15 seconds, similar to a bee sting, and then the sting quickly fades away. Not a hassle.

They say that you should use an area with plenty of fatty tissue, which is why my GI recommended the stomach. I don't have a lot of fat on my thighs!

The small amount of pain you have during the injection is well worth the amount of pain and other symptoms that it relieves once it starts working.
