2nd shot of Enbrel 50 mg

[Guest guest]

Becauxe of weather storms and the X-Mas rush, my 25 mg replacements

of Enbrel did not arrive on time and I had to take another 50 mg

injection. So, on the 24th, I drove over to my school nurse's house

and she gave me my shot in my arm (the only place where the

injections are tolerated). Well, we numbed my arm with ice and left

the Enbrel out for 3 hours. She injected it very slowly and it still

stung. It was so painful that I started crying (and I NEVER do that

with the 25 mg one). The needle itself didn't hurt but the

medication burned so badly that I couldn't take it.

So, I truly wish those of you who are taking the 50 mg Enbrel, well.

My shipment of the 25 mg should arrive tomorrow and I will donate

the 50 mg ones in my refrigerator to my doctor who can give them

out. I hope Enbrel figures something out and can still have the

convenience of the 1 shot without the pain.
