Guest guest Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 Hello all, I haven't posted in here for a long time (since last fall maybe?) although I've read posts now and then. I was really just too miserable for words. Finally, finally I've found some relief--I started on Kineret a few weeks ago, and the results have been nothing short of amazing. In two days, I went from taking 1-2 vicodin every 4 hours to taking 1 Motrin in the morning. I'm doing so well that I've actually tapered down to 9 mgs. of prednisone and hope to be off the evil stuff in a couple of months. I'd love to get off MTX too--will see how it goes. Many, many thanks to everyone who posted suggestions for how to handle/prevent injection site reactions. I read everything--did the ice before and after, let the kineret warm to room temp, used the liquid benedryl, injected in my stomach, and all my fears about site reactions never materialized. Except for some slight bruising (and a little bit of sting if I inject too quickly), I haven't had any problems. I LOVE this stuff.
