Humira 1x a week

Is anyone taking the Humira injection (actually made at Mass General Specialty Pharmcy-its generic-abdulimab). I was just approved. I took a few months (you all know about insurance owed). How was your experience on 1x a week At every 2 weeks I had sleepiness for 2 days, bad headaches and nightmare (where I was screaming and my husband has to wake me-3 nights of the nightmares. I am maybe 40 percent better. A year ago it was like an attack- peripheral joint pain, eye inflammation, low blood reds, whites and platelets. It had never spread peripherally before. I had spine issues sacral fusion and was having ablations on my spine. Now 60 and it's bad. I was diagnosed at 25. I had 3bsurgeries for UC and ended up with an internal j-pouch at 21. So it's been 4 months 2x a month now going to 4x a month starting in a week. Does anyone else do every week injections? I pray it helps without increasing side effects too much. Should I have added small dose methotrexate instead of going to 1x a week Humira? I am feeling confused anxious and scared. Thank you, Shell
