Guest guest Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 I had an TB test, but my rhemy never had me physically come back to check my test, even after asking her, she said, oh just call the office no need. My current rheumy was like oh no, you have to re-do the TB test. Well I have never ever heard of not going back to have them look at the spot they tested for TB... I was testing and they said they would NOT start until they had checked that area... Who ever had you not check it welll I wont say incomptent, but its not done that way... You have to be screened so that you cant be at risk to get TB after that... Again... Me, I take the methotrexate tablets, so I do that on Sats... My shot they only have me doing twice a month, but I am in pain a lot so he may increase... Will have to wait till I see him again in a few... Not sure how you could work that, but I would spread them out too, when one is not working the other will be... Less pain that way...

I normally do the shots on the same day. I to the MTX in the morning in my stomache and do the Humira at night in my leg. I do the Humira at night because it tends to hurt a little but and I usually lie down for about 1/2 hour after injection. I asked my rhumey if the shots needed to be on separate days and was told it didn't matter as long as they were in different spots so I could see if I was having any reactions. I do well on both meds. I am on both injections every week though instead of the normal bimonthly for Humira. Also a little advise about the Humira- make sure you warm it up a little before injecting, it will sting less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
