On Pins And Needles Part II
When I had my first injection, I didn't do it myself... yet. I was scared to death and extremely nervous about it. The nurse was so sweet and when she was about to give me the shot and noticed (which was not difficult, haha) how horrified I was, she looked up at me and compassionately said:
" I know, honey."I glanced at her while she was holding the syringe right above my skin and replied:
" If I can look at it, I will be fine! I just need to get over that point." And before I knew it, while I was still watching, she plunged in the needle. Arrghhh.... ehhh.... ??!! That's it? That wasn't too bad. I didn't feel anything, until the fluid went it. It burned and stung terribly. And then it was over! Well, guess what? I got over my fear and am doing it myself:-)
It's incredible to see the effect that the Humira already had, after that first shot. On the following Thursday, we could see the swellings around my knuckles in my hands had gone down to almost half their proportions. Let me put it this way: I could actually see I had knuckles, something I hadn't been able to see for a long time because of all the swelling! The medicine takes it's full effect within a few months and true enough! All the swellings are gone and I have no pain whatsoever. Not even when I overdo. Praise The Lord!
So anyone considering taking Humira, if it's affordable, don't hesitate and delay any longer. Speaking from my own experience I would urge you: go for it!
It's a miracle to me. Not just another blessing, nor a great blessing, but a miracle. Upon consideration... great or small, aren't all blessings miracles? :-)
