Re: Enbrel injection and reactions

[Guest guest]

Hi , I didn't bruise much (are you using SureClick or the syringe?) but I

did get the hive. What worked for me was either taking Benadryl or Tagamet at

bedtime and putting hydrocortisone cream on it. The good news that the hive was

only ginormous for about 6 mos. Now I hardly notice it.

[ ] Enbrel injection and reactions

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if it's normal to bruise after each injection of

Enbrel. Each week, I get a bruise and it doesn't go away before the

next week's injection. I was just wondering if this is normal. I

also get the swollen itchy skin after injections too. I've heard that

that reaction is normal, but not the bruising.

Just curious.

Thanks,

Les

I bruise occasionally. Seems like I bruise more if I am tense when I use the

shot.

I use the syringe. This last shot went best of all. I had no itchy

reaction, no swelling, and no bruising. I have no idea what was

different than the last few months, but hope it continues. It's just

strange to have a reaction some of the time while none or very little

on other occassions. More to ponder, I guess.

Thanks, Les
