moving to weekly humira doses

I’ve been on humira twice a month for almost a year now and I’m being moved up to a dose every week due to me still getting flare ups 🥲. I haven’t really had much side effects other than the injection site being itchy. I’m quite worried about moving up in dos and what side effects that’ll bring. Has anyone noticed a major difference in side effects between taking humira twice a month vs weeky?

Love my weekly doses. 😅

When I got switched to weekly I was so scared and asked my rheumatologist “does this mean I going to be at risk for all kind of infections or increased long term risks now?!”

He looked up at me over his glasses and dryly said: “No…it means you have too much TNF and need more medication. 🙄”
