Re: First Shot of Enbrel Today

[Guest guest]

Group,

Well I finally did it. I wanted to wait for my daughter to give it to

me, but I got the SureClick and I am tired of hurting. I just thought

of my friends here that do it and knew that I could also. Thanks.

It took me a couple of mins to realize that I wasn't pushing down hard

enough! I can make something simple so hard. I left it out for 30mins,

let the alcohol dry and had my bandaid ready. It only hurt for a tiny

second and not much at all!

All of you are wonderful coaches and I love you.

Shirley

P.S. My daughter just got here and gave me hug. She said she is so

proud of me because she knew that I was scared.

Tawny,

I really did think about you. I told you the new pens were so much

better! I didn't want to be a chicken because of that.

Thank you, Sweetie.

Great news Shirley. I am glad you were able to finally give yourself

the Enbrel shot. If I ever need that I would probably be scared to

give myself a shot also.

Thanks, Debbie.

I really don't think that I could have done it without this group.

No one here lets you give up!

Clora,

You are so sweet and compassionate! I read you were going to try a

short walk this morning. How did you do?

I love the sunrise and sunset. My favorite parts of the day. I love to

see what God painted in the sky.

God Bless,

Shirley

Shirley,

I've been taking Humira for the last 6 months......I actually feel like a

normal person now. All of my awful pain and swelling has just

disappeared....poof! When I saw my rheumatologist in September I asked " How

long can I take this? Do people actually not get any side effects for several

years? "

He said that he hoped I could continue it for many years. He said he has

hundreds of patients who are doing sooooooo well on it (combined with MTX, I

think). I've had RA for 15 miserable years and taken most of the non-biologic

drugs. Humira is a godsend.

By the way, I tried the pen and much prefer the syringe. I inject it very

slowly in my thigh and although it hurts for the minute or so I'm injecting,

I've had no problems afterwards.

Joy,

What a wonderful blessing that the Humira is working so well.

You have your life back! WooHoo!

Thanks for sharing that with the group and all that are hoping

for their miracle.
