first biologic shot tomorrow - any last minute tips?!

[Guest guest]

Just looking for some reassurance on this " eve of kineret " - tomorrow we give

the first injection. We are planning to do the injection at bedtime. When we

started the methotrexate shots we did the first couple in the doctor's office so

we could learn how. I'm trying to stay calm about unlikely things like allergic

reactions. I do have benadryl and also an epi-pen, and obviously the ability to

call 911. Am I being too freaked out? More faith needed, right? I guess I'm

just having some post-traumatic stress syndrome. There have been so many scary

ups and downs in the past 11 months, including a wicked drug rash from the cipro

antiobiotic. Whatever is going to happen will happen - we've already made the

decision to try kineret, and I pray to God it helps and doesn't hinder. Have

most others here given their first biologics at home? No doctors have mentioned

having to do our first one in a doctor's office so tomorrow, at home, is our

plan.
