Injections go to belly at least two inches from umbilicus/ belly button. Opt for the citrus free formula and auto inject pen and have your first in your doctor's office with his nurse showing you EXACTLY how to inject. I wasted one all over my leg my first time with the pen and that's like $2000 tossed away (did I mention I'm an RN- it isn't instinctive but it is easy once you learn). Humira for me has far fewer side effects than Embrel did and the pen needle is uber tiny and sharp- you barely feel it. Because I'm an RN, I use the syringe and the needle is no where near as sharp and I feel it most times. If the injection stings coming straight from fridge, let it sit out for 30 minutes but never much more than that as it can damage the med.

Hi Amanda and Patti I was on here earlier and told my story I think something went wrong when trying to enter anyway I started my humira today 1st dose didn't feel it at all gave it in my belly. But it's been in my fridge for the whole month they send me my meds from Michigan had trouble with ups and there refusal to leave it without sign so it was sent back and in waiting for it to be resent I had a tb test done and that took another week and I know the meds lower the immune system and the tb test isn't going to keep that from happening but I felt better getting it done so anyway 1st dose today and am praying for some relief with the itching the pain and stop all the looks from the misinformed that have no idea how I feel about the way I look much less the rest that goes with this dreaded disease. My story is long and I have to say the worst thing over and above my surgeries my divorce and the loss of my parents over all the time I've endured since birth and that's how long I've had it

Almost any medication you will find to take to help your psoriasis will suppress your immune system. Psoriasis is an autoimmune disorder. It’s bad enough that you have to deal with psoriasis itself but the meds that you take have terrible side affects. It’s like a vicious cycle. With the COVID you will have to take extra precautions.

It lowers the immune system so talk with your doctor. He may want your to wait to start it. Most of the biologics are injectables that you do yourself at home.
