enbrel

[Guest guest]

Hey

When my hubby started taking insulin for his diabetes he had me do it for the

first week. He just couldn't get the nerve to stab himself with a needle. When

I asked him why he said I wouldn't understand until I had to do it. I realized

he was right. I didn't know what it was like. When I first started taking

enbrel and methotrexate injections it was not easy. I just bit the bullet and

did it. After about 3 injections it dawned on me (I can be slow. lol) that I

didn't hurt as much and I wasn't taking that much pain meds as before. I am on

injection #6 and I only take 1 pain pill at bedtime and once in awhile one

during the day. It also gets easier each time I inject myself. If it takes

someone else injecting the enbrel at first I recommend you find someone.

As for the side effects, I didn't even think about them. I don't care. I hurt

so bad. I was in tears. Now I am out getting my chicken coop ready for this

years 150 chicken flock coming April 11th. Along with the barn for the 2

piglets, 5 turkeys and the 1 beef cow I have to raise this year. And for the

first time in 12 months I was able to take a walk with the horses out in the

pasture. In the SNOW!!! I was in heaven. I am so looking forward to riding my

horse again.

When you are injecting that enbrel just think of all the things you luv to do.

Soft hugs and warm thoughts
