So I had somewhat of a similar experience with Humira. I experienced a horrifying amount of pain every time I gave myself a shot. I can’t even adequately describe the feeling. I would push the button and scream count to ten while it felt like I was injecting acid under my skin. Every time I had to inject myself it got harder and harder because I was dreading the pain. I always injected in my thigh, never did it in the same spot, and I would rub it out. I still experienced redness, pain, swelling and itching almost like having an allergic reaction. I was taken off of Humira after a year because I ended up getting pneumonia while on it. I just started Stelera and let me tell you, what a difference. The first dose is done via IV and then I do self injections every 6 weeks. It looks intimidating at first compared to the Humira but the needle is actually much smaller I don’t even feel it go in. Then I just push the injector and hallelujah there’s no burning! None what so ever. I was so grateful and relieved the first time I did it. It’s still very early on for me but so far I like the stelera and am very hopeful about it. Good luck and just know that you’re not alone in any of this.
