Managing anxiety around starting a biologic

Hi, I am 29 years old and was diagnosed 5 years ago with Axial spondyloarthritis and was managing quite well on an NSAID (Etoricoxib). Unfortunately over the last year my flare ups have been severe and I was advised to start a biologic. Yesterday I had my first injection of adalimumab. I am more worried about the scary side effects which are causing me lots of anxiety it’s hard to see what the positives are at the moment. Did any one else go through anything similar?
