dumb me

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

This is probably the most stupid thing I've ever done. My husband gave me

two hours to pack up and fly back to Michigan to surprise the kids and in my

hurry, after I made up my Enbrel kit with the ice pack in it and two doses, I

stuck the rest of the Enbrel in the freezer. Big surprise when we came home

yesterday and I looked for it in the ice box and couldn't find it anywhere.

I know a thief would have no use for it so I couldn't imagine what happened

to it. I went into the freezer to take out some chocolate candy that I like

to eat frozen and ................. there it was, staring me in the face.

Has anyone that's on Enbrel ever done that and if so, have they thawed it out

and used it? I immediately called the Enbrel company but they were all gone

for the weekend and will not be able to get back to me until Monday......the

day I " poke " myself. It's too early to reorder as my insurance only gives me

a month at a time and I've only used a half month's package so far. I've

frozen another half month's usage.................... (

I also wonder, if I can't use it and I have to wait another two weeks to even

reorder, will I feel pain immediately? Geeeeeez.........I'm glad it's at

the end of the year and I'm not starting out with such an error for the new

year. My husband says I've made popsicles out of it...................(

xxoo

How about calling your pharmacy and see what they say about it. Perhaps they

could also help you out in dealing with your insurance company if it turns

out to be unusable. I've never frozen Enbrel but have performed more than my

share of 'dumb acts'. Blame it on the 'brain freeze' (pun intended) we all

share thanks to Stills!

Good luck, Barb
