 I had my 1st injection and it took me about a 1hour to get the shot in.  I was mentally siked.  I was so used of inj myself with different m eds that when it came to the pen I was so scared of the click.  I ended up having my husband give me the shot. A little poke and I was good.  I felt like a big DUMMY...  
What is a person to do..
Dx 1996 
RA 14 years
Prednisone, folic acid, humira 40mg Vitamin D3 and calcium.
sorry about the itching..  I hope it was a one time thing
but my experience w/ enbrel is that the third month is when I started feeling better... and that continued to improve.. so you can't really expect too much after the first shot....
Good luck.. 
Bump....I'm on Humira and occasionally have a reaction.
Nothing to bad tho.
Sometimes it can sting and burn a little, but most of the time I have no problems.
I agree with Babs, You can't expect this drug to work miracles with one shot.
I shoot up in the stomach area as shooting into the thigh area hurts like mad.
Where did you take the shot?
Hey Bodak I took the shot in my tummy.  I'm just so used to meds working right away for me.  I could feel the difference with Orencia (biologic) within 48 hours.  I guess I'll hang in there. Thanks for the advice.  You have a Awesome Photo website.  Do you sell your photos?Babs - I began the shots in February along with metatrexate and I don't seem to be

Well folks I was to scared to take the next Humira shot.  I don't think it's working and I didn't like the feeling I got when on it.  I felt sick to my stomach.  I'll keep you posted on what drug doc gives next.  Ekkkkk.....
