Adalimumab DAY ONE! What to Expect from Your First Injection ankylosing spondylitis
Starting adalimumab (Humira) for ankylosing spondylitis can be a significant step in managing your condition. Here's what you can expect from your first injection:
Preparation
Training: Your healthcare provider will show you how to properly administer the injection. It's important to follow their instructions carefully.
Supplies: Make sure you have all the necessary supplies, including the prefilled syringe or pen, alcohol swabs, and a sharps disposal container.
The Injection
Site: Common injection sites include the front of your thighs or your abdomen (avoiding the navel area).
Process: Clean the injection site with an alcohol swab. If using a prefilled pen, press it against your skin and activate it. If using a syringe, pinch the skin and insert the needle at a 45-degree angle.
Pain: You might feel a slight sting or discomfort during the injection, but it should be brief.
After the Injection
Reaction: It's common to experience mild redness, swelling, or itching at the injection site. These reactions usually go away on their own and flu-like symptoms at night.
Monitoring: Keep an eye on how you feel after the injection. If you experience any severe side effects, such as difficulty breathing or swelling of the face, seek medical attention immediately.
Benefits
Symptom Relief: Some people start to feel relief from symptoms like back pain and stiffness within a few weeks, but it can take up to 12 weeks for full effects.
For more detailed information, you can check out resources like Humira's official site or consult with your healthcare provider.

I hope this helps mate. Let's get you better again. Modern medicine is a wonderful thing.
Sure is, this medicine is only 20 years old too so relatively new, thank you mate 🙏 I hope so 🤞
Just came across this as I am due to start this next week, had AS for almost 15 years and this year has been bad. Hope all goes well for you! Can't wait to see the progress. Fingers crossed
Thank you.🙏
Good to hear you you’re about to get the treatment, 15 years is rough but I guess it never goes away.
I hope it has a big effect on you too. It’s not perfect, I still hurt but it’s a lot better and maybe over time it’ll help completely. It’ll be good to hear how you feel after using the injection
@@YouknowwhereHughgothanks, I’m due to start soon. Hope it’s improving things. How has been been for you? Any side effects?
@ it’s helped a lot, no side effects that I’m aware of, still have some pain in most joints but it’s a lot better and early days still, my knee is mostly the thing playing up atm. It’s nothing to worry about mate
Have your doctors given you a date? It’ll be great to hear how you get on 👌
@@YouknowwhereHughgo That's great, glad its helping you! I'm due to start tomorrow but wasn't sure whether it would be best to start after Christmas in case I had any side effects, second dose will be xmas eve lol. I've had it in the knee in the past, that's not fun. Hope it helps mate!
