My First Humira Injection
I'm taking a bit of a photojournalistic approach for this post. Tom documented the process for my first Humira injection, so I figured I would share it. You can read about my switch from Enbrel to Humira to treat my rheumatoid arthritis here.

| Reading the instructions over - have to get this right! |

| Squeeze the skin...get ready....get set... |

| GO! My first Humira injection. |
There's not much to say about Humira yet - it will take some time to tell what it does for me. All I can say so far is that the Enbrel "Sure Click" auto-injector was much friendlier -- less painful and easier to administer. This pen was weird; I could really feel it pushing the liquid underneath my skin, and others were right: it burns. Good news: I'm only on every other week injections for now.
