Humira

:medal1:Tuesday the 24th I had my loading dose of Humira. Four injections and I did it myself. I was stressed but with a wonderfull teacher Joyce - nursing sister for Humira I had the confidence to do it. On 7 June the next two and afterwards the normal 2/ month. No real side effects- a headache and pins and needles in my face - right side but that subsided after two hours. I'ts still sensitive in the area of the injections on the right side= interesting that the pins and needles feeling and headache also appeared on the right side. I had a gastro experience that night but the next morning just tired and nothing since. Wonder if any link with the Humira. I'm very excited and hope that this will really be what I expected.:medal1:

Occasionally I'm tired the next day too. Not had pins and needles tho, something to keep track of and let your consultant know if it gets significant.
