Humira nurse ambassador?

Hello, my doctor has now put me on Humira. I did my loading dose at my doctors office last week with the help of the nurse. Everything went well and I can seem to do the injection just fine by myself.

The next day a nurse ambassador called me from Abbvie. She introduced herself and acted like she cared, but the whole conversation felt very scripted. Anyway, she said from now on she will call me via zoom while I do my injection from home. I guess i agreed to this at the time, but why is this necessary? Can't i give myself the injection without her calling? Does anyone else have experience with this? It seems very intrusive and unnecessary.

I agree. You tell them, don’t lose me, but I’ll call you, please don’t call me.

I was on Humira for 4 years. And there were times when I did call the ambassador with questions. So, you want to stay in the “positive file”. …not get taken out of their data base.

They are just trying to do their job. If they say, to keep you in the data base I need to call you ever once I a while, tell her, every six months.

My opinion.

You're buying the highest-grossing drug in the world, so they can afford unusual concierge services to make really sure you don't get frustrated with the injection process.

To be honest, I agreed to the zoom call just to get her off the phone. She wouldn't stop talking. Afterwards, the more I thought about it, I wondered, why would I want a complete stranger to watch me inject myself with a humira pen into my belly on zoom? Almost sounds like a joke now that I think about it.
