Hi everybody

I'm a newbie to this page, just found it today. I was diagnosed with RA 5 years ago but started having symptoms about 3 years before that. It took me a while to convince my Doctor at the time it was RA even though my labs showed it. I've been on MTX for about 3 years and Hydroxychloroquine for 5. I recently started seeing a new Rheumatologist and he just started me on Humira. I took my first dose tonight, which is what brought me here. I completely forgot to let it sit out for 30 minutes before I injected it. Thankfully there was no singing, which I found out was the concern about letting it warm up.

I'm happy to find a community of people that know what I'm going through. My friends and family really understand.
