Re: Humira-sore throat and fever ((((Toni)))

[Guest guest]

Hi Toni:

Sorry you are feeling so sick, but you did right by

not injecting today. It sounds like you are having

more of an allergic reaction than anything - I think

you should let your doctor know about the burning, and

perhaps, like some do with the Remicade infusions,

take some sort of antihistamine prior to your

injection and see if that helps decrease the burn.

Hope you are feeling better soon.
