Yay, happy for you! If that Humira works as well for you as it and other biologics work for me and many others, you will be on needles and pins every month worried that something will delay your shipment! As much as I was afraid to start a biologic, I'm now afraid of it not being available for some reason.
Well, maybe you won't worry as much as I do, but hopefully you will have good enough results that you'll welcome giving yourself that injection. Did your dermy prescribe double the normal dose for the first 3 months? If so, it'll kick the PsA and psoriasis ---- even better!
I'm not 100% sure. I assumed it would just be normal injections, but when the pharmacy called that they had the pre-auth they said it was two injections, two more eight days later, and then on the continuing injections from there. I called the Dr's office but him and his nurse was out, but another told me to just relax and they would be calling to set up an appointment to cover all that and show me how to use the things.
I had allergy shots for years as a child, so needles don't bother me much beyond wondering if I can give it to myself, so I'm still thinking a syringe sounds better to me, but not wanting to hold anything up and will ask about that later :) The lack of control with the pen sounds more scary!
I do hope it works well!! After all these years I'm a little excited and this last bad flareup just doesn't want to chill out. My fingers hurt and even the skin plaques that have mostly stayed away for years are back on the rampage again like they want to remind me.
I will keep giving updates though, and hope I can also help the next new person but with GOOD news about how it worked for me after ignoring it for so many years with "Nope, I'm good" as the common response to the wife, kids, and parents when they could tell I was in pain. It seems real stupid in hindsight.
