Hello everyone! I just got my first dose of Humira yesterday (40 mg, will be doing once every two weeks but I think I'll switch my day to Sunday instead of Monday so my next dose is 12/4). I'm really excited, anxious, and slightly worried... which I think is natural for all of us who start any manner of treatment. The pen is much easier to use than I thought, which was a nice surprise!
So I wanted to ask, when was it that you started noticing improvement in your symptoms? Was it within some weeks or even months? I was told I'd feel much better within a month and like a completely new person within 3 months. I've been sticking to my same bland safe foods for so long now and I'm starting to get a little tired of it but I'm also so scared to try anything new because of the fear of being in pain afterward... so I wondered if/when that fear dissipated for any of you on Humira.
I'm also on Humira for my AS.
Thank you!
