The story of my Humira treatment. Delivery and Injection #1 – A Day Early, Here’s Why. Humira Box Containing 2 Pens. She then called the delivery team and asked if they could have my drug delivery in the morning rather than the afternoon to allow her to squeeze me in. They couldn’t guarantee that would happen as the schedule had been written up already, but I was pencilled in. On July 14, 2009 at 15:48 Comments (4). To TrackBack this entry is:.

The story of my Humira treatment. Goodness, how time has gotten away from me! I can’t believe how tardy i’ve become in updating this journal, things have been VERY hectic for me since early September. In my last post I was very excited about my inflammation levels reaching an all time low at 8! So far, it appears to have stayed, which is even better news! It’s all very exciting!

The story of my Humira treatment. Post-Injection #1 and Injection #2. I’d heard some great stories about folk recieving their first injection and within the first 24 hours felt amazing. I’ll be honest, I was a sceptic. Mostly because I’d read very similar stories about the amazing benefits and remissions after taking Methotrexate and in all my years of taking that, never had the benefits described. I’ve noticed no major side effects from the drug yet, though I did have a persisting headache for the...

Post Injection #2 and Injection #3 | Living with Arthritis
https://myhumira.wordpress.com/2009/08/14/post-injection-2-and-injection-3
The story of my Humira treatment. Post Injection #2 and Injection #3. Things are going really well. The noticability of the benefits weren’t as full on as they were after the first injection, but something more gradual. The realisation that you can do some things after-the-fact that you weren’t able to do before and even some bigger things like jog for shelter in a sudden downpour! Yip, somthing as simple as that put a smile on my face for the rest of the day. So far so good regarding illness and side ef...

After a month and a half… | Living with Arthritis
https://myhumira.wordpress.com/2009/08/25/after-a-month-and-a-half
The story of my Humira treatment. After a month and a half…. It feels like so much longer…maybe it’s the length of time between each injection that makes it appear so. Who knows, the main thing I want to update about is my increased fear of injecting myself. Thus far the only persisting side effects appear to be the sap in energy on the day of the injection and this spreading rash on the lower half of both my legs.

Some pre-injection jitters. | Living with Arthritis
https://myhumira.wordpress.com/2009/07/13/some-pre-injection-jitters
The story of my Humira treatment. I know I said the next update would be injection day but I feel this is relevant. Over the last week or so I’ve been dwelling on the injection and the 15th July is hanging over my head like a hangman’s noose! How I manage to get myself out of that mindset is by thinking of the logical aspects like; healthcare professionals monitoring everything closely and also the potential for a positive outcome. Thinking about all the things I might be able to do again, even somet...
