Sorry Allie - I get a sore spot where I get my shot. No scabbing.
Last week was funny. I got a new caretaker. I was teaching her how to give my shot - same as yours. I showed her how to take off both lids and check the window. I then handed it to her and said we put it in here. Next thing I knew, she stuck it in me, pulled it out again and was squirting me in the eye. I said hurry, hurry, stick it back in. So it when in another spot. Who knows if I got anything out of that shot but I have learned not to hand anyone the shot, until the instructions are completely and totally understood
I'm sorry you're having some weird reactions with Humira. I know it must be frustrating! I don't think anyone here has had a reaction to the drug quite like what you are describing. I would go ahead and call your RD (or maybe the pharmacy?) You may have developed an allergic reaction to the drug. I hope that's not the case since you said it's helping with your RA pain.
I hope you get to feeling better soon. Have a superfantastic and comfortable day!
