Just started Humira- need some support

I went and got my first 4 shots of humira today...and now I feel horrible. I'm very sensitive to medications, and this one is no exception. I went to the ER about 2 hours after getting the shot because my entire body was burning, I couldn't stop shaking, and kept dry heaving. No allergic reaction, just felt overall horrible. I feel much better now, but I'm definitely not 100%...maybe 65%.
Will I react like this every time to the humira? Because now I'm terrified to take it. I feel so afraid and vulnerable...

What, if any medications, did they give you at the Emergency Room? Did they determine that you had an injection reaction?

The reason I ask is that if you had a medication reaction, then yes, you might have difficulty with any subsequent injections. You might need pre medications before another Humira injection. It is imperative that you talk to your GI about what happened so he can determine the proper course of action.

Also, could your anticipation of getting the injections caused an anxiety type reaction? Some people just cannot handle injections and get physically ill at the thought of one. My daughter is like that.

Lastly, how long did they have you wait after you got the injections? It is recommended that the patient wait at least 30 minutes following the initial humira injections. It would have been helpful for your doctor to have his staff person see the reaction so that they could report it if necessary.
Hopefully, you will feel better soon. Let us know what your GI says about continuing with the Humira.
