Hi Joanne941. You have absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about. Your going through hell and like we all know it's not easy at all. I'm praying the humira injections work for you. They only worked for me for a few months but boy wer they good πŸ‘ unfortunately they stopped working for me and now I'm being started on rinvoq my new neds arriving on Tuesday and like you can't wait for then to arrive as my pain level has went through the roof. We are all little warriors so glad we have this site we can all share our stories and get advice and support when we need it. Gentle hugs coming your way πŸ€— Praying πŸ™ you get relief from your illness soon and the Humira works amazingly for you. x
