I am due to start Humira and have 'training' booked for the 6th Feb once all screening tests done.
I was supposed to get a patient information leaflet but it hasn't arrived.
So I have a couple of questions - does everyone get 4 injections for the loading dose. I read somewhere that some patients with crohn's only get 2. If it is 4, do you just inject one after the other or are they spread over the day?
For those in the uk. Does the training actually involve giving the actual drug? If so who provides the pen. I think she said I get the humira delivered to my house...do I have to take them along to the training session?
I should have asked the IBD nurse more questions when she rang to arrange the appointment, but I was so surprised how soon it was going to be, I didn't ask any!
