Hello all☺️, I’m a few days past my initial humira injection two weeks ago. Tuesday made a total of four injections and my second one on my own. I’m glad to be building confidence in doing them.

Loved ones have been asking if I’ve noticed any changes. After taking a closer look, I have. 1. The drainage from the holes in my stomach and chest area has decreased. 2. (I’ll observe more closely) But I believe there is a decrease of inflammation in the lining of my groin. There appears to be less sensitivity there.

Now, what I’ve also noticed just in the past two weeks, but didn’t attribute to the new drug, is tooth sensitivity in the upper left side of my mouth. When I drink or eat anything cold, it shocks the nerves up there. I had forgotten that my sister Lori suggested that it may be the humira, until my sister Leah mentioned the same. After my dentist was unable to find any explanation for the sensitivity at my visit yesterday, I googled it and saw some post where other humira users had experienced the same thing. I’m going to follow the suggestion of using the sensodyne, to see if it helps.

Lastly, I’m now experiencing acid reflux. Something I haven’t had in years! This one is a no brainer for me. It’s the humira. I’ll mention it to the dermatologist so that I can get something to manage it.

So there you have it! All in all, I feel that I’m responding well, and as long as nothing manifest more serious than these issues, I’ll stay the course.
