Hi, Blossomgirl (lovely name!),

Humira worked GREAT for me for about 2 or 3 years. But it's really odd and interesting how some meds work great for some people but not for others.

Right after I stopped taking Humira (2018 ?), the manufacturer reformulated it, using shorter needles and less of one chemical additive/preservative that made it sting. I clearly remember the TV ads about how Humira would hurt less, after I stopped taking it! Haha.
Since it has been reformulated since I took it, I'm not sure my experience with the actual shot will help you.

Have you ever given yourself a self-injectable before?

My biggest recommendation is to give yourself a really special treat right after you get the shot, like kiddies getting lollypops at the pediatrician's office. I gave myself a frozen Dove bar. I only ever ate one after the shot, never at any other time. I started to tell myself that Dove bar day was coming! instead of dreading the Humira shot day. Very silly, but it worked great for me! It also helped that the Humira worked so very well. I would remind myself that a few minutes of pain would get me weeks of pain relief; however, that grown-up way of thinking didn't help nearly as much as the Dove bar! I guess I'm still just a baby when it comes to shots!

Keep us posted on your progress : ) Good luck. Be not afraid : )
