Humira, Life at 120MG

I took two pens on Thursday (6/29/17) and another one today (6/30/17) and I am EXHAUSTED. No idea if it's helping yet, but the shots seem to make me hungry.

Reminder: I am on Humira for Crohn's Disease, Hidradenitis Suppurativa, psoriasis, and polymyalgia rheumatica.

Sunshine Vox Box

I got my Sunshine VoxBox a few weeks ago and it had a lot of great stuff in it! Vaseline Intensive Care Aloe Spray Sinful Colors nail polish in Ocean Side Infusium 23 Leave in Treatment with Avocado and Olive Oil Dickinson's Witch Hazel Cleaning Cloths (and some coupons) A coupon for a free bag of Bark Thins, I got the Blueberry Quinoa variety Blue Diamond Sriracha Almonds Vaseline Intensive Care Aloe Soothe Spray: The Vaseline Intensive Care Aloe Soothe spray lotion spray smells great, it's light, quick, easy to apply, and absorbs quickly without leaving any greasy residue.

It comes in a huge variety of

Because I need to write, I'm going to blog. I plan on updating this blog at least once a week but if I don't that's ok too. This is for me. This is my own record, I will keep it for posterity. My memory is horrible. Maybe this blog will help me in the future. Enough explaining. Time for real posts.

There was an incident...

Yesterday was shot day. Three pens, as expected, no big deal. Except one of my pens misfired. The needle didn't even touch the skin. I pressed down, counted to ten, pulled it away, and the Humira started spraying. I put my hand over the end to catch to fluid so that it didn't spray all over the carpet. According to the Humira rep with AbbVie this is a normal mechanical failure. I explained the incident, gave them some info from the package, and as soon as they confirm with my doctor a new pen will be on the way. I have extras in the fridge, so no lapse in dosing. Still, injecting is anxiety inducing enough without equipment failure. The other problem: I noticed two lumps in my right arm pit on Thursday morning. Around 9 AM it was the size of a ping pong ball. I sat in Sus' house all day while she cleaned, unable to help her because the building pain was just too much and movement would only make it worse. By dinner time it was roughly the size of a tennis ball, and more
