Don;t worry about giving yourself a shot. I use humeria , and give myself a

shot every week. I do in the the stomache, around the bellybutton. I have lots

of fat there to pinch. The needles are so sharp don;t really even feel it. I

make sure to take my drug out of the fridge for about thirty minutes, before

using. It burns if the medicine is to cold. So don;t freak yourself out, you can

do it. Been There G

Hey everybody! I haven't written in a while, so, first off, I'll just

say HI to all the new people!

Well, I got some good news today. I qualified for an Enbrel Drug

Study. It last 2 years and EVERYTHING is paid for. All my rheumy

visits and x-rays! I'm just a little (a lot) nervous about giving

myself INJECTIONS!!! I HATE HATE HATE shots! I'm 23 and I still start

bawling when I have to get a tetanus shot!

I have to go into the Dr on Monday so they can teach me how to give

myself the injections. Yikes! Also, anyone's that's been on Enbrel,

were there any really nasty side-effects?

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!!!

That's what I've always heard, too, not to give the shot near the belly

button. I have been on Enbrel for about 2 1/2 years, and it's working

very well for me. I no longer mind giving myself shots because of what

the results are going to be. So don't be afraid to give yourself shots,

. Soon you'll be an expert at it. It doesn't hurt because the

needles are so fine. The needles they used to send were twice as long

and also thicker, so they would hurt a little. No problem now, though.

I hope the Enbrel will work as well for you as it does for me. Sue
