humira - 3rd dose

omg, talk about 3rd time's the charm! the first two doses, i was covered by steroids, so i couldn't tell if they did anything. but this one, wow! i think we might need to adjust the dosing to weekly instead of every other week, but the effect is almost immediate!

flashback to wednesday -- monday and tuesday nights were awful and so was wednesday during the day. i got home and took my shot and didn't expect much. but thursday, i noticed my guts were much quieter, there was less blood already, there was less pain. i was afraid i might just coincidentally be having a good day, and didn't want to give humira all the credit, but now it's friday, and i feel just as "normal" as I did on 30 mg steriods. this is awesome!!

so by tuesday, I'll know whether i need weekly or not. if i feel terrible again, i take the next shot. if not, i wait until next next wednesday. woo hoo!

now, if only it would also get rid of the stupid aphthous ulcers that have decided to make a comeback, i hate those things!
