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

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!

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

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

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

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.

Thank you for this I’m helping my gather who is about to start his journey and this was so very helpful!

Thank you for this video. I'm alone and scared to give myself my first injection and this really helps

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

They have a citrate free injection now. dramatically reduces pain!

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?

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.

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.

I'm meant too start 2 weeks ago, iv deliberatly held back as im so worried about the side effects :(

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 KZfaq 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.

My sister is suffering from psoriatic arthritis...and is advised by the doctor to go for adalimumab.......

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??

thanks for the video, im having my first jab tomorrow. I like how you have wrapped the sharps bin made me laugh :)

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

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

Thank you for being honest

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.

How can you properly review humira after one injection and 5 days

it does hurt like hell still can't do it myself. it's been 3 years I have been on it.

My first one today!! Waiting today for nurse!!! Aghhhhhh!!!! Wish me luck😬😬😬

Thank you...about to take mine for the first time..😂

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

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

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.......

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 !!

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.

Today was the first day I injected it. I use to inject with blood thinners and so it didn't bother me at all.

Thanks I’ll be taking humira soon

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

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 😢

thanks for sharing

Is anyone here use humira in rheumatoid artritis?

You can eat pasteurized stuff

I'd love to hear what happens after 5th day if you'd get to it!! yikes!!

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.

Very nice

There is zero point to making a vid after one shot

you're so beautiful

I wish this was in English.
