The Enbrel injection was just as my ASA friends said, not difficult. A
little stinging, but I think I need to let it warm up longer next time.
I have my fingers crossed that this will work well for me.
Thnaks to everyone for their encouragement.
Take care.

Thanks Diane!
I spoke to another Enbrel user who felt relief after only two weeks.

I often have *some* stinging with my injection, even when it's warm. I just
inject slowly, and that eases it enough.
I had increased energy for a few days in the week following my first shot and
that seems to be lasting longer with each shot (Friday was my 4th one). I
hope your response is at least that good!

Thanks, Kate. As I talk to others I learn more tips for a "nearly
painless" injection.
How are you doing?
Take care.

glad you're getting the help you need for those "nearly painless"
injections. i'm still hanging in there---it's a block of time to another
block of time kind of thing. and that's what most of us do.

glad to hear this Bonnie, glad it went so easy for you.
How is the liver function doing. Have you tried Milk thistle for it.
