OUCH!!!!! My homehealth nurse was just here and she gave me my Humira injections. I get two at a time every other week. She always tells me how much her and the other women hate giving me the shots because they hurt me so much and so they feel bad. We've tried everything to get them to not hurt as much, but there seems to be no rhyme or reason to why sometimes they will just pinch a little and other times I almost come out of the chair swinging. The pain is worth it though. Humira saved my life and has kept me alive when no other medications were working. I just hope it stays that way.

Wow, best of luck with your humira. I too was taking that a while back for my UC disease. I always had a problem giving them to myself, so one time I even had my best friend do it to me, otherwise I would be sitting there for ten minutes with it up to my belly, but just scared to push the button further... I'm sure you can understand. Best of luck to you!

Thanks for the comment. I have tried and failed to give the injections to myself so I completely understand. I just don't have it in me to stab myself with a needle. Stay strong and keep fightin'.
