Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Hi , Since my last flare up over Christmas, I have been off the Kineret...it made me itch like crazy..I still have welts where the injection sight was at..Big time OUCH! The welts have gone down a lot though but only since I stopped using it..I alternated thighs and found it didnt hurt.'as much' when I was injected higher on my thighs..I hope you have better luck with it than me...I tried every lotion and salve, prescription or not, under the sun, why i could open my own pharmacy..and not one thing helped for the itching..i said i would rather be in pain than itching (which now i am) and i am better off...good luck! Diane..42 p.s. someone asked how often we go to the Dr.?? Â I see the rheumatologist every month! I go again this monday..my hands wrists are hurting very bad... p.p.s. it snowed here last night...Kirk, where is your plow now!! -Kineret Users, This morning I woke up around 3:00am and all my injection sites where whelped up and I have hives even in places where there were no injections. I have been on Kineret for 9 days, I just wonder if anyone else has had these reactions, and if they were any that were delayed as long as mine are? The place that I gave the first shot 9 days ago whelped last night also. Taking Benadryl for the itching and I have already left a message for my Rheumy. Any feed back would be appreciated.
