Guest guest Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Hi all, I haven't posted for a while, this is because there was a fault on my internet connection that has taken the telephone company two weeks to sort out. To those of you who have missed me, sorry, to those of you who haven't, oh well, nevermind. So is Enbrel working for me. Well my P is disappearing rapidly but it usually does a little in the spring and summer but the rest of me seems the same. Out of the last two weeks I have not got up in the night for 12 of those nights and I can't remember the last time I did that. I have had two injection site reactions on my stomach so I am going to try a different site to see if it my be just my clothing rubbing it. I would say that something is definately happening but what I am not quite sure. I am feeling quite fatigued at the moment, it must be the Bob Catley gig catching up to me. I always over do it when I have the energy, you'd thought I'd have learned by now. Keep the light shining, Ian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Well, I'm glad you are back! I took my first enbrel injection yesterday - I look forward to " P is disappearing rapidly " - that's a wonderful thing you are experiencing. My first injection was done by " me " at home, on my own - is this the common procedure. Pharmacist said it should have been done at the doc's office, but that was never suggested by the doc! I was not into the stomach area, but used the upper thigh on the left leg and have no indications around the site, today. Once I began the injection, I got a little nervous about it - one does need THREE (3) hands to do this sort of thing! I forgot, totally, to pull back the plunger and check for blood - how can one do that with arthritic hands??? Well, anyway, I didn't die! I'm sure I can be more calm about it the next time. Thanks for listening.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Viking, I have had to be looking at my white rose alot these days. It still gives me comfort. I was put into a new cast cause my foot break is not healing. This time I am in a purple cast my favorite color. They had put me in a cam walk but due to so many health problems I could not be in it. So in cast till June sometime. I hate this and want it off. It is strange about the Isp cause the same thing happened to me. I finally got it fixed but took some days. I have read where others had the same problem too. Strange because we all have different ISp and States. BTW I did wonder what had happened to you and you were missed.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 Dee, the first shot should be done in the doctor's office to make sure you follow all the steps correctly and that you don't have an allergic/anaphylactic reaction. That is how it was done with my first shot. Ever since then, I have done my own.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Hi Zoella: I applaude your spirit. To remember that your new cast has your favorite color made me look at the good side of things. Cheer up, I pray for you. zody <purplezody@...> wrote: Viking, I have had to be looking at my white rose alot these days. It still gives me comfort.
