Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / August 2005Enbrel 50mg (once per week)
Did my first injection last night of the above. You mix it the same as the twice a week jabs, and I didn't notice any difference in how the injection felt. Will post an update and lets see if it makes any difference in how I feel by the end of the week. Rheumatology dept is recommending taking the Enbrel same day as the mtx. Jayne Jayne. Mine is due next Tuesday. By the way, have you read the comments on http://remedyfind.com/rm-676-Enbrel.asp. Quite an eye opener if you wade thro them all. Peter Did my first 50 mg yesterday. Noticed no difference in the injection site. I did notice that there seemed to be very small bubbles of air in the syringe, which took some time to rise. Maybe this is something to watch for.

[quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Peter I noticed that it had a tendency to froth more, but I have been getting a bit off hand about mixing lately, so perhaps I'll be more careful. When mine goes frothy, I stand it in a glass and let it settle in the fridge for a couple of hours.

The solution of the water and enbrel is till the same. I'm taking the MTX once a week but not at the same time. Its nice to do only one jab instead of two.

A spokesperson for the British Rheumatology and Spelling Society [Brass] said the usual cure was to post abuse and insults about "Andy" to UPSA, as he was only joking really Alison and you know I 'till love you really....... -- Andy > One little known side effect of once a week enbrel, was that some > patients' mainly female and from London tend to leave the letter "s" [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > -- > Andy LOLOLOL Now that was funny and true too. LOLOL SomBodyElse >> One little known side effect of once a week enbrel, was that some >> patients' mainly female and from London tend to leave the letter "s" [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > >SomBodyElse LOL Harv, it's one worse than insults, it's the silent treatment..... Sorry Alison, pretty please sorry - am I forgiven? -- Andy > I did my first jab last week , didn't notice any difference. . The > solution of the water and enbrel is till the same. I'm taking the MTX > once a week but not at the same time. > Its nice to do only one jab instead of two. > Alison Nice isn't it? It is really handy if you are going away for say a long weekend not to have to faff on transporting the stuff. Jayne >> I did my first jab last week , didn't notice any difference. . The >> solution of the water and enbrel is till the same. I'm taking the MTX [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Jayne Meant to add to my post that I was a bit confused. I've read reports on ASA that their once a week injections are pre-mixed and there is something in it (preservative?) that makes them sting. When they offered me once a week injections it was the first thing I asked, but they assured me it wasn't pre-mixed. Jayne >>> I did my first jab last week , didn't notice any difference. . The >>> solution of the water and enbrel is till the same. I'm taking the MTX [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Jayne Mine is pre-mixed in the USA but you get yours from a different producer and you have to mix it. No big deal. Yes, it is the preservative that makes it sting which means that it bothers some people more than others. If I take it easy or do it slowly, it does not bother me much. So it goes. harv > Mine is pre-mixed in the USA but you get yours from a different producer > and you have to mix it. No big deal.

The worst Enbrel jab I had was when I let my mum do it for me - she's been a nurse for her whole working life and she did the injection just like chucking a dart! Never again. Jayne > The worst Enbrel jab I had was when I let my mum do it for me - she's been > a nurse for her whole working life and she did the injection just like > chucking a dart! Never again. > > Jayne LOLOL Mum is used to doing the flu shots and stuff like that,,,,,,,, I got a hundred steroid shot one day at the doctors office one day and begged the nurse to do a 50 in each side which she did. Much better that way because its kind of a big shot.... LOL chucking a dart LOL. Harv TATB in the RAF (national service) was reputed to be given in the arm thro the sleeve of your shirt. It wasn't, but it laid the whole billet out the next day with a reaction to it. Peter |
