This blog chronicles my experience with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS), my self-management via physical activity (primarily running, tennis, and CrossFit), and the synthesis of AS-focused research.

My experience taking Humira
Humira works incredibly well at controlling my stiffness, fatigue, inflammation, and night sweats. I inject myself every two weeks. Occasionally, I forget to take the medication or I postpone the injection because the solution stings. Consistently, within a few hours of my scheduled administration time, I start feeling the pangs of stiffness developing, my SI joints start to crack, and my mobility is markedly reduced. If I don't receive Humira within 48 hours of my scheduled time, I begin to experience night sweats, worsening mobility, and increasing fatigue. If Humira did not sting, I would likely not "forget" to take it as often.
