Humair infusions

Hey There hope you're doing well today!
First let me say you are so brave sharing your new diagnosis, I was first diagnosed in 2018 and I was so ashamed and did not know what to expect or who to turn to so i applaud you for sharing your diagnosis. One of the first treatments i started with was Humira I developed a skin rash after 3 months of being on it but it was helping with my symptoms it was just unfortunate that it gave me a really bad rash that i had to stop taking it. I hope it helps you and that diet you are on has worked for me as well so you are on the right path!

I started taking Humira back in 2017. At first hearing I had AS was already scary enough. At first the was a slight burning sensation from the needle. They changed it two years ago to a nitrate free with a thinner needle. You barely even know its there. The medicine work wonders for me. I promise theres nothing to be scared of. Good luck

I've just started my own Humira injections. I had my second dose on Monday. For the first few I'm making my dad inject them into me. I figure once I get used to how they feel I can do them to myself. They're not so bad, and that's coming from someone with a slight fear of needles. My plan once I'm doing them myself is to turn on my favorite music as a sort of stress reliever and to pump up some courage. I'm traveling next month and it's going to line up with one of my doses, so I'm going to have to do it myself a little sooner than I'd like, but I think it'll be fine...yeah, it'll be fine.
