Guest guest Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 Dear Brett, I'm on Enbrel, not Kineret, but still have site reactions after each injection. A lot of people get relief after putting an ice pack on the site for a minute or so prior to the injection. What helps me is taking an OTC antihistamine. I usually use the generic form of Tylenol Allergy & Sinus. That makes a big difference. My site still becomes red, swollen, and warm to the touch, but I just take the antihistamines until it feels better. The muscle pain and blood vessels surfacing are more of a concern. Please discuss this with your Rheumatologist asap! Let us know what your doctor has to say. In Peace, Barbara Gardner Life is such a trip!
