I'm About To Start Humira Fortnightly Needles After Trying Monthly Simponi Needles For 8 Months.

Has anyone found a great improvement with Humira needles? I have been using Simponi needles since March and had noticeable improvement but in the past 2 months they haven't lasted the 4 weeks between needles.
I'm wondering about side effects.
Thanks in advance.

I had explosive diarrhea on the Humera. I had to map out restrooms on my way to work. Lol! After some research I found out that it is based with baby laxative. I must have been really sensitive to it.

John, I have taken three injections of Humeria and have headaches after each injection and a scratchy sore throat for a few days, no other issues. I agree with Rene I have been hurting worse, it has not helped the pain and I have had to take Prednisone to help the pain.
