You know, I wasn't a fan of the Enbrel sureclick. You don't have control over

the rate of injection and there's something disconcerting about that pumping

action. I switched to the prefiled syringes and I find them much more comfy.

Plus they don't fill up the sharps box as fast. Kate F

Hi Tammy

I found the same thing when I started taking the Humira pre-filled pen. I found

that leaving it out to get to room temperature helps tremendously. I checked

with my rheumy and he said this is a good idea. Last week I was in a rush so had

to inject it cold - it hurt so much. I also take a few Nurofen Plus about a half

hour before.
