I've been dealing with HS for a long time, and after fighting through a long approval process, my first delivery of Humira is arriving tomorrow! I'm feeling a mix of relief and nervousness about starting my first dose. I’d love to hear how long it took for others to notice results, any tips for taking the injections, or advice on managing side effects when starting out.
I have been on it for about 2 months. But still got a bad flair up. My doctor told me it will take up to 6 months for it to work in your system
I see oddly before I started i was constantly having flares like clock work but, once I started the meds almost 2 weeks ago I haven't had any flares but today I felt something that doesn't feel like an hs flare it feels like cellulitis so I'm dreading and praying that's not the case. Because the medication has made me more sensitive to everything that I already had sensitivities too. Like I've always had motion sickness when I'm a passenger since I was a kid but I've never vomited. But I rode passenger over the weekend and threw up so bad and that's the first time I had been a passenger since starting the meds.
Thank you so much for this i been trying to do as much research and getting prepared and changing other things alongside the medication to reduce flare ups. Yes patience has been my best friend.
