Guest guest Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 I have been on Humira since Dec and have no problems. I did have itching af ter the first couple shots but that was it. I don't even bruise or anything from the shot either. Maybe I am just lucky. In a message dated 3/29/2008 9:08:35 P.M.
