Hello,
Biologicals are meant to be taken exactly as they are supposed to be, otherwise their effectiveness for the next few shots appear to go down.

I hope you are taking other tablets at the same time, be it painkillers like Etodolac or Methotrexate once weekly or low dose 3 times per week.

Please get in touch with your Rheumatologist or the Community Nurse who deals with your Humira immediately.
Also, it will be important to exclude a viral infection if you are having a low grade fever as is common in people who are on immunosuppressants.

Best Wishes.
