it's a med for Crohn's and RA. I'm sure they use it for other things. I'm just sorta freaked out about the self injection part! I'd be ok if I was just going in for shots and someone else was doing it, but myself? what was I thinking? I asked for this med!!!
It's insane. The dr has to put the paperwork through himself to the insurance bc the med is 15k a year without ins and they don't do scripts. Once approved, I have to go there and learn how to do it.
Cmon people, just lie and say its awesome and doesn't hurt much! lol.

I'm sure it will take some getting used to but if it is going to help you - that slight pinch will seem like cake in the end.
FH teaches first graders and some have epi pens for bad allergies - and they had to be taught how to use it just incase. So if they can do it - you can too!!!!

Re: humira?
i'm sure you'll get used to it. people who have diabetes probably worried about the same thing when they had to start giving themselves insulin injections. i'm a huge baby when it comes to needles, so i totally understand your fear! i hope it's not painful for you, and more importantly i hope it helps your crohns!
