My arms and legs were covered with psorosis for 15 years after my 3rd injection im totally clear. A life changer. Side effect for me is that i do get headaches at least once a week.. injection dont hurt in the leg.
One of the worst burning pains that I've felt ...I can't even describe how much I dread it. The results been so worth it in the end for me! I have Crohn's and it's almost taken away the symptoms completely. My advice is to let the pen sit out of the refrigerator an 1-2 hours before so it's at room temperature, I called Humira and they said I could even leave it out overnight for the next day. Just countdown and get it over with because it might change the way you've been living your life!
Cashmere And Pain, No it didn't hurt me in any way either. I just can't take it because of the infections it leaves me open to. May be the ones it does hurt are having a local reaction to it.
The new citrate free injection is amazing. I did it the other day and it literally didnt hurt at all. i thought it didn't work at first it was that painless.
Try injecting it at night as you sleep through the initial symptoms - I find that best for me, Doesn't hurt at all for me...always take it out the fridge and leave for a while before injecting. Squeeze the skin between finger and thumb and inject that part - seems to help
hello . . i have crohns and colitis i have been on humira for over 5 years now and i am on my 3rd month of using the new injections ( you are on the new injections) hence why you dont feel anything pain wise ... the old injections where so painfull it gave me panic attacks and they stung really bad . . so glad that they have took citrate out of them so no more stingy pain . . i hope this sheds some light as to why people say its painfull and you dont feel pain . . alot of these people live in the USA where they still have the painfull ones and some in the uk have the painfull ones because there perscription hasnt been re newed yet xx
michaela murphy Thank you so much!!! At last, an actual explanation. I rung the hotline to ask why I wasn't experiencing what others where and they didn't tell me they'd taken an ingredient out. I thought it was because I'm chubbier than everyone else's I've seen injecting so it was going into my fat and not my muscle!
Jack, please please look into the side affects.....Will it affect your quality of life? Jack, my sister had RA....first it was her heart valve....then within 2 years....stage 4 lung cancer.....Please people....think hard on taking this poison....My beautiful sister passed....and everyday of my life....I miss her and think of her. BTW... my brother in law is a toxicologist...He told Betty....it is poison and it could definitely kill her... She was in terrible pain....when I told a therapist (I was trying to deal with this loss) he said... "oh, the per centavo of this happening is so low....you can't blame the Humira....entirely.....would he say this if it was one of his loved ones who He lost??
Hi Thank you for posting your videos. I was diagnosed with RA in december and was selected for Humira I'm a 50yr old guy in the UK. I've suffered chronic back and neck pain since my teen years and just thought that was how my body was. I've clearly had RA for a long time but just lived with it !! I finally confronted it when it became an emergency admission while on holiday last August. The Humira arrived on Friday and having watched a few vids (inc yours) I decided to bite the bullet and just do it myself without wasting a day at home waiting for a nurse and incurring costs for our skint NHS :-) The jab itself doesn't hurt at all... in fact I wondered whether it was faulty... the reality is that if you are lucky enough to have a few pounds around the middle you won't feel a thing I'm hoping it doesn't have life changing side effects but the potential benefits are worth taking the chance. I have a very active and demanding job and i'm just looking forward to getting some relief from back and neck pain at last... hopefully I can stop taking so many ibuprofen soon and if all i'm left with is an itchy nose I'll be happy ! Thanks for sharing
Honestly, I cant rave about this injection enough. It took a while to work for me... Maybe 3 months, but when it did the effects have really changed my life. Believe me, that's not some hyperbole to make you feel better, it honestly has. I have taken on more hours in work, I don't have to pop pain killers every day, I go to the gym 4 times a week, I can socialise without it wiping me out. It's really made such a huge difference to me quality of life, and I really hope it will for you too! Good luck!
@@butchertx1927 Life changing. I've been moved off Humira (due to the cost) and put onto one of the biosimilars called amgevita. Same drug, same delivery method and the same results. Pain free still after 4yrs !
I was diagnosed with Crohn's at 14 (October 2016) and my doctor is having me switch from pills to the Humira. I'm a bit frightened to be getting 6 shots in my stomach area as my first dose. I will then take the injection twice a month on my thighs. Hopefully, it doesn't hurt because a lot of people have said it does and needles are scary. Thank u for sharing ur experience, hopefully my first time won't hurt too bad.
I just got my 2 first injections today. I have Hidradenite and Rheumatoid Artrites for many years. Humira is the treatment used for the 2 conditions so, I decided to give it a try. This first injections were done this morning an its past midnight and I have no side effects or pain at all. I just hope that will continue this way and that it helps me with my 2 conditions. I took Enbrel before and it did give side effects and I had to stop. We will see, in the future if will no be the case with Humira. I wish you the best and I am sorry for the side effects that you had.
I had a huge meltdown before my first injection because I heard it was very painful...I sobbed the whole time and squeezed (almost broke) my mom's hand. 😂 i felt so stupid...yes, it burns a little but I've had steroid shots and antibiotic shots that hurt far qorae2
Kate Trimue haha! Spirit animal! That's exactly what I did. Full melt down, shook uncontrollably, the lot. Now though I wouldn't be without out Humira. It's given me a quality of life I didn't would ever get back. X
Hahaha oh dear I was with my doctor and she was keep asking me to do it by myself. Omg i wasnt pressing the button of the pen. Top of that im a nurse and hate needles. She was like do it man your a young guy dont be chicken 😂😂😂. But yeah it didnt even feel like needle
I've heard the syringe hurts less than the pen. Reason being, when you use the syringe, generally you put it into fatty tissue at an angle but, the pen is healed straight and enters muscle.
Thanks for video. I have AS (ankylosing spondylitis). Flaring right now. It’s totally out of control. And it has worn me out. It’s not ache anymore. Absolute pain all the time. I’m now homebound. Lumbar spine, is a mess: all herniated and fusion of L4 and 5. Also have all the side effects, awful psoriasis; IBD, 2 types, lucky me; uveitis, I mean the whole thing. Now in my late 60s, but things began in my 20s. I desperately want to enjoy a few yrs of retirement. I’ve had surgery after surgery and the disorder always returns with a vengeance to do more damage. I haven’t gone this route bc I thought I wasn’t eligible as I have latent TB from living in Orient as kid, but rheumatologist said he doesn’t believe that would be a problem. Insurance will only pay for Humira. I’m still worried about it all. Has anyone had side effects?
Mark Arlidge I know it's daunting, but this has been a wonder drug for me!!! I haven't had any terrible side effects but if you want to ask my anything about my experience or side effects then feel free.
Cashmere And Pain I have ankylosing spondylitis and I’m honestly terrified of the symptoms. I haven’t had an injection yet but the thought of being 26 and taking this for the rest of my life is a little depressing. I don’t want cancer in 20 years. I’m planning on having a kid with my partner and I’m afraid I will pass this gene on to my children and I wouldn’t want anyone to have to deal with this
I took my 4th shot yesterday, no side effects, just beginning to feel positive effects. Btw I use the syringe, not the pen, and inject into my stomach, not my thigh.
You're welcome! I've done another video that's a year in to my treatment with all the stuff I learned - ua-cam.com/video/a4kNWYFsJ1g/v-deo.html - just to give you the highlights of it.... it's not a quick working treatment and your father may be wondering why he's bothering after a month or two, but then the treatment will kick in and once it does he'll be grateful he persevered (at least that's what happened in my case). I wish your dad a speedy road to remission! x
I have just done no3 injection Adalimumab. I had a slight advantage over this lady as I had injected Methotrexate for a few years previously. I did find the injection slightly painful but the drug seems to be working well as this is the longest period for over 9 months when I didnt have to take steroids to stop the joint pain. Have had no real side effects so far other than possibly very slight tiredness...
I'm having my first dose (4 injections) on Friday morning (9:30am), and I'm meeting the kid I will be tutoring and his mom for the first time on the same day at 5pm...is this a bad idea? I'm scared I won't be feeling good later in the day. anyone had bad side effects on the day of their first dose??
Took my first shot Sunday use it fir RA so far so good no side effects at all just a tingle no burn at all its better than taking methotrexare 8 small pills each week that didn't do much at all for me so far so good feel like its working so far
Hey if u see this today please respond , I’m starting my first injection tonight and I’m really nervous, r u using the citrite free pen ? That one is supposed to be less painful . I’m curious if you experienced less pain during injection that could be why , just wonder cuz I’m nervous, thank you !!
Hi Melissa. We might be in different time zones as I'm only just seeing this. Hopefully by now you've injected your Humira and you've seen that you had nothing to be nervous about! If you haven't then please trust me... it's going to be ok! I used the citrate free pen and it was fine! Apparently the citrate was the cause of the pain for those in the early days but the makers of Humira removed it. Don't panic! Let me know how you get on x
Thanks so much for responding, I actually got the original version with the citrate and it was very painful, had to do 4 rounds for the start up, 2 more of the original next week. I will be switching to citrate free for my maintenance so I’m hoping those will be much easier to deal with. Hope your feeling well, love from California

I've had psoriasis for 45 years going on...... And psoratic arthritis going on 20 years..... My dermatologist wants me too be on humira.... But not til I get lab work......Im suppose too get the first injection in the office on Aug, 21 2018.......But I have a bad cough..... And I have horrible sinutiis...... Can I still be on humira.... I'm nervous about the side effects..... I heard hair loss and lymphoma.......
Humira was a living hell for me. I have a long history of disabilities. I was on Humira for Polyarticular Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. I was diagnosed in 2005 age 11. Side effects I had include Vomiting Diarrhea Joint pain in every joint Eye inflammation Burning when urinate Heartburn I was extremely itchy Sweating Headaches
5 days is way too short to judge it although it is possible for it to do something for certain people. Taken 2 doses and I think it's doing something, not sure. My life was destroyed any way it's worth it. The new Pen is Great it doesn't hurt much they leveled the PH so it doesn't burn
just took mine for the first time and it burned for about 2 seconds and then I felt no pain at all. Hopefully all or most of my symptoms of Spondylitis go away shortly but I will have to wait and see.
Please be clearer. Most of the explanation was just huum and studdering. If it wasn't for that the video would have been cut in half. Just want to know how you felt. No disrepect. Just need to know.
Can anyone suggest that if this is going to be a "forever injection" ? I want to have my psoriasis cleared and I will be start taking this from this weekend, but just worried if this has to be continued forever
Naresh Ramachandran I can only speak for my experience but my doctor is starting me on it for a year to begin with. He's hoping it will kick me in to remission so my immunosuppressants can do their magic from there. Don't be concerned about being on the injection though. I'm 10 in and I can say that I really feel a benefit. X
I've been told that there is no funding in my area for the citrate-free injections. They hurt like mad and I didn't half yell! Like being stung by a hornet, and burning afterwards. Had to learn how to do the injections on UA-cam as the nurses aren't coming round during the covid crisis. I've done six injections now and so glad I'm down to only doing one injection at a time in the future.
Rachel Heflin. Wow, you’re a seasoned pro at this! Good luck with the treatment. Let me know if you have any questions as you go through your treatment journey x
Im pretty scared to start this, i just got off stelara now im starting hadlima(biosimilar) for my crohns. The side effects are kindve alot but my crohns is at a point where i dont have a choice lol
I did this once. And I'm terrified of needles. The frist time I clicked when i wasnt ready i throw the pen. Then i couldn't being myself to it again so i told my mom to do it and just wanted to get over with amd the nurse was there for 3 hours because of me lol. But i quit my anxiety was so bad. Im going to try something else i heard there was a pill form that does almost the same as humria
Cashmere And Pain yeah. I'm hoping to finally find relief, and that it's worth the trouble. Your vids have helped to ease my mind a bit, so thank you very much!
Ilyes go I've only just taken my second shot yesterday, and I haven't really seen much difference yet. I was on prednisone and plaquenil before and had to totally stop taking them. Since then the swelling in my joints and the pain has been horrendous. I'm praying for some relief soon. 😞
Nene Asuncion switched to methotrexate injections from the pills, along with Plaquenil and prednisone for three mths. Nothing is suppressing RA. I'm getting ready to start Humira with everything else until under control......my hands are my biggest area of pain.
My arms and legs were covered with psorosis for 15 years after my 3rd injection im totally clear. A life changer. Side effect for me is that i do get headaches at least once a week.. injection dont hurt in the leg.

Nicole MK honestly it really doesn't hurt me in any way. I don't know what's different about me. 😂
Cashmere And Pain, No it didn't hurt me in any way either. I just can't take it because of the infections it leaves me open to. May be the ones it does hurt are having a local reaction to it.
Thats probably because you still have the one that has citric acid in it. Ask your dr. for the citric-acid free pen! It doesnt hurt at all!
Going to take my first dose tomorrow, and I have Crohn's and RA. Hoping for good results!
The new citrate free injection is amazing. I did it the other day and it literally didnt hurt at all. i thought it didn't work at first it was that painless.
Peter Federico same!!! I was so confused!

How are y'all getting these "new" injections?
Great so us in the u.s. have it bad still? So it's going to burn like a fire? Uhh.. I'm nervous about it. It shows up tomorrow..
Thanks for the review.I have RA and this is my next step of pain control.I shall follow to see if it warrants the need to continue

Kelly Dolan I've been told that makers have removed the citrate from the fluid and that has reduced the sting!
the injection does hurt just not like a regular needle when you get blood taken out. only advice that worked for me is deep breaths.

How can you properly review humira after one injection and 5 days
Trisha B I also have a review after 1 year and 4 months. 😃
Because you feel a difference. Not saying what you will feel after months.
I didn’t get told anything about food. What can’t we eat? I’m day 3
Thank you

DEATH
Humira was a living hell for me. I have a long history of disabilities. I was on Humira for Polyarticular Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis.
I was diagnosed in 2005 age 11.
Side effects I had include
Vomiting
Diarrhea
Joint pain in every joint
Eye inflammation
Burning when urinate
Heartburn
I was extremely itchy
Sweating
Headaches
5 days is way too short to judge it although it is possible for it to do something for certain people. Taken 2 doses and I think it's doing something, not sure. My life was destroyed any way it's worth it. The new Pen is Great it doesn't hurt much they leveled the PH so it doesn't burn
just took mine for the first time and it burned for about 2 seconds and then I felt no pain at all. Hopefully all or most of my symptoms of Spondylitis go away shortly but I will have to wait and see.
Hello, I am just about to start taking Humira for my Spondylitis. How are you feeling 1 year after using it?
give update
it does hurt like hell still can't do it myself. it's been 3 years I have been on it.
I just did it does hurt. But dont care if it helps.me ill take the pain
Please be clearer. Most of the explanation was just huum and studdering. If it wasn't for that the video would have been cut in half. Just want to know how you felt. No disrepect. Just need to know.

Then i couldn't being myself to it again so i told my mom to do it and just wanted to get over with amd the nurse was there for 3 hours because of me lol. But i quit my anxiety was so bad. Im going to try something else i heard there was a pill form that does almost the same as humria
Please try something else.....its not worth it
@@kathycronick3942 did you have bad side effects?
Thank you for being honest
My first one today!! Waiting today for nurse!!! Aghhhhhh!!!! Wish me luck😬😬😬
clara Can you describe the results to us?
God Bless you
I've just been prescribed Humira for psoriatic arthritis. I'm terrified. I HATE needles. I take my first shot tomorrow, not looking forward to this 😢
Noah Berryman don’t panic. Honestly I felt the same way but you will be surprised at how well you cope!
Cashmere And Pain yeah. I'm hoping to finally find relief, and that it's worth the trouble. Your vids have helped to ease my mind a bit, so thank you very much!
noah Can you describe the results to us?
Ilyes go I've only just taken my second shot yesterday, and I haven't really seen much difference yet. I was on prednisone and plaquenil before and had to totally stop taking them. Since then the swelling in my joints and the pain has been horrendous. I'm praying for some relief soon. 😞
My Rheumatologist told me that it will take about 3 months before I notice a difference, then begin weaning of prednisone.
Thank you...about to take mine for the first time..😂
Devon Kimball hope it was as pain free as my one!
Is anyone here use humira in rheumatoid artritis?
I am just took first dose Sunday not bad compared to taking 8 small pill weekly that didn't do much
Nene Asuncion switched to methotrexate injections from the pills, along with Plaquenil and prednisone for three mths. Nothing is suppressing RA. I'm getting ready to start Humira with everything else until under control......my hands are my biggest area of pain.
I’m starting mine maybe today, I pray Humira is the answer.
Thanks I’ll be taking humira soon
You can eat pasteurized stuff
I'd love to hear what happens after 5th day if you'd get to it!! yikes!!
thanks for sharing
Oh gosh you sound like me I am so scared of bad reactions
You should have started a fake band, like the one in the commercial.
There is zero point to making a vid after one shot
you're so beautiful
Very nice
