Rheumatoid Arthritis
"I take Humira for rheumatoid arthritis and so far it&#039;s the only medicine that works for me. I&#039;ve tried Plaquenil and methotrexate but they don&#039;t even touch the pain/swelling.  I began to feel relief the morning after the first shot of Humira. Don&#039;t let the instructions scare you. The shot is not painful. I let it stand on the counter 15 minutes before I give it so it&#039;s not so cold. My Doctor suggested that I sit in a straight back chair so that the abdominal area is already pinched and you&#039;ll have both hands free, then pick a spot on my stomach that&#039;s 2 inches away from the navel and just do as the directions explain. You won&#039;t feel the needle, but the medication will burn just a little.  I can&#039;t even say it hurts. Don&#039;t be afraid."
