Im on humira and taking it every 2 weeks, im only 16 and when i ring for my humira welcome pack, im to young to register?

[LouiseKyle]

Surely if i can take the drug im able to get a welcome pack? Anyone know what i can do?

What a bunch of bigots, I think your right in saying I use it im entitled to everything that goes with it.

In the mean time could your parents or older sibling aply for you?.

Good luck with it.

[Philip in reply to LouiseKyle]

How daft. Your Rheumy obviously thinks you're in need of humira at your tender age, which in itself is a bad enough situation but whoever has denied you the welcome pack (I take it one needs to be 18 to request one?) doesn't think you need to understand what it is you've been prescribed & everything you need for it! As Philip has said, consider asking a parent or sibling over the age limit to request it for you not that you should need to. It's your medication after all & I'm guessing it's been prescribed to people of your age before, unless it's that registration has to be completed by a parent or guardian for those under age & this wasn't explained to you, in which case it was remiss of the person you spoke to not to point this out.

Hope you get it resolved one way or another.

Sorry don't know what the welcome back is but when i was on the drug the results were fantastic so i hope it works well for you.
