Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / September 2006I did the Enbrel Sure Click shot
Ok it was a experience for sure..lol MAKE SURE YOU LET THIS STUFF SIT OUT FOR 30 MINUTES BEFORE DOING THE INJECTION! I still let this stuff sit out for the 30 minutes it says to warm to room temp, but it still stung like crazy. I did find it VERY easy to inject..hardly any effort at all. I feel this product was created for easy use for RA patients who have weakness or severe pain in their hands and have trouble injecting. My anxiety over injecting myself with the prefilled syringe was eliminated with the use of the sure click pen.. I was always worried about screwing it up. This was almost error proof and super easy to do. Besides the fast push of the medication and the stinging I would definitely recommend switching to the sure click pen that Enbrel makes. I hope this tells everyone how it went for me ginnypig tried it pioneered it for ya'll and there it is..:) RhondaM Thanks Rhonda,,,, I hope it works wonders for you.

How many millilitres? I have to do two IM injections per week (or, more precisely, my wife has to do them for me because I can no longer do them into my legs after nerve damage). The first one is 1ml and the second one is 2ml. Anything to make these easier would be great and if yours is an IM of similar volume (although yours is probably watery, mine are oily) I'll be writing to the manufacturers of mine to try and push them into making their products easier to inject.

Complications in hospital following this resulted in a serious illness. I now need a bone marrow transplant. Many people around the world are waiting for a marrow transplant, too. Please volunteer to be a marrow donor: http://www.abmdr.org.au/ http://www.marrow.org/ Hi Ari.. I am terrible at converting to metric..but I can say that it is 50mg doses that is SQ in my leg once a week.. your wife could inject you in your arm with this version of Enbrel if it is the same one. I do think my enbrel is watery. I am thankful that you and your dear wife escaped a frightening situation. I live in a fairly safe town, but I still lock all my doors and windows and watch myself when I leave the house and go shopping. You never know who is watching you.

I have never had that problem in the 9+ months I've been on it. Maybe Mary's medical training makes her a better "shooter" that the rest of us. <g> With the very limited ROM of my neck and head, the only way I could do it was in front of a mirror. I had to do that two weeks while she was on vacation in Ohio this past Spring. > This was almost error proof and super easy to do.

Nah, I like it when Mary "nurses" me. > I hope this tells everyone how it went for me > ginnypig tried it pioneered it for ya'll and there it is..:) Thanks for experimenting for us and relaying the results. ... Describe the universe. Cite 2 examples. I wondered if the stinging wouldn't be really great with it. I often have to slow down my injection and pause occasionally due to stinging. I don't like the idea of not being able to control the rate of the injection. As long as my hands can handle it, I want to push the plunger myself!
