I started Humira Mid May, and have had just 4 doses so far (4 injection loading dose, 2 injection loading dose, then single injections every two weeks). I'd say I saw improvement in my energy levels by the time I started single doses. After the first and second loading doses I was extremely tired in the afternoons (completely wiped out) but its fine now I'm only taking one injection in the evening. The 2 injection loading dose was the worst in terms of side effects for me.
It's still early days and I'm not completely in remission but I'm almost there. I can eat in public without worrying I'll have to run to the toilet, and bowel frequency is almost normal. It's not back to normal in terms of the Bristol stool chart but getting there, and no mucus / blood. I can eat a normal diet packed with vegetables again.
