I already spoke with doctor and pharmacy, but curious about personal experience.

When sick do you pause biologics? (I am on generic Humira.)
How long did you pause it for? Did you start a new “schedule” or resume the same day/schedule? I take mine every 2 weeks currently and was due on Sunday and today is Tuesday still sick.
I have a very severe case of Behcet’s effecting most organs and I started Cyltezo which is a biosimilar of Humira 6 weeks ago. I’ve done 4 injections so far and all my symptoms have been amplified, no relief with anything. My doctor put that I had RA to get it approved through insurance since it’s not a conventional treatment for Behcet’s. I asked her about starting with a loading dose but she refused and said my insurance (Cigna) probably wouldn’t cover it. How many of you are in the states and started with a loading dose higher than 40mg? Did the insurance give pushback on it?
My wife has been using Humira for over 10 years with excellent results. Now, her insurance (BCBS) has decided not to approve it anymore. She is transitioning to Cosentyx, and the process has not been smooth so far, even though she's only had three injections. We're quite disappointed that she had to stop Humira. I'm interested to hear from others who have been on Humira for a while or are just starting—how have you managed to get it approved, given that many insurance companies seem to be denying coverage for Humira now?
Can anyone help me to understand how this process works? My bf told me that his humira biologic will be mailed to him in two weeks (he told me this three weeks ago). Im just wondering how much longer it will be before he is able to receive it. He has went thorough this process before in a different state but now he is restarting biologics after a whole year of not taking them voluntarily. Why would he be told that it would be sent in two weeks if that wasn't going to be the case? Is there a delay or something?
I took my first load dose yesterday of 160mg, eight hours later I had a temp of 102.7, diarrhea, and throwing up. It lasted all night and I’m still down and out.
Anyone else experience anything like this when they started?
I’m set to start Humira, my script is in. I have a couple questions. Should I wait to start over the weekend in case I have some side effects? What are the most common side effects you guys have experienced? What’s the best methods for giving yourself the shot?
Out of curiosity what’s the dosage you are on and how often do you need the shot?
I’m a little nervous but I’m excited to get feeling better.
****Ill actually be on Simlandi not Humira
I just started biologics Humira for body and scalp psoriasis ( guttate and plaque) want to know your experiences with adalimumab???
Do you guys usually leave the second skin on or immediately remove and wash it when you get home? I’m conflicted on what to do
Hi guys! I’ve been injecting Humira now for some time but I started working out more often and my legs are super sore from my workout, is it okay to inject in my leg? I know it says not to inject into sore spots but I think that’s only for bruises correct? I’m assuming it should be fine?
Took Hadlima for the first time after months of fear over doing so.
Definitely some exhaustion today. Now, almost 24 hours after the injection, getting a decent headache in the front of my head.
Are these to be expected? How long do they last?
