 Humira shots
by: Shawna-Missouri

i have been on the humira shots for almost a year. They have helped my Crohn's tremedously as well as my eczema on my hands is pretty much non existant since being on the shots. I have had no side effects until about 2 months ago I broke out in these bumps. They looked like mosquito bites and some were so large they looked like ringworm. They did a biopsie on a couple of spots and had to even send it off to another place for a second opinion. They said that all they could come up with was it was a side effect of Humira.. WIERD... Good luck!!!!

I just recently started on the Humira self injections and they aren't that bad. Its best to numb the sight where you inject with an ice pack for a couple minutes first. Good luck and keep healthy.

 Humira shots
by: Kim

I just recently started taking the Humira shots. They are not any more painful then any other shots. I haven't had any side effects, in fact they seem to be doing me a lot of good. The only bad thing about Humira is that the first dose is 4 shots and you can only inject them on your stomach or on your thighs. The second dose is two weeks later and it is 2 shots. After that it is just one shot every two weeks.
