Good luck Matilda!

Let us know how you get on. It has a long lead time before it starts to work for most ppl anyway that is.

Good luck Matilda, make sure you take it out of fridge at least 1/2 hour before she comes to get it to room temp. I use my upper arms, one in my thigh did hurt. There is a slight sting, but short lived. I also do mtx injections so quite used to injections. I’m sure you will be fine and the H&H nurses are very good.

The nurse came on time went through assessment. Took benepali 25mg out as soon as nurse arrived as I didn't want to take it out too soon.

There is a question that I should be having it twice weekly as prescribed once weekly.

The nurse stayed another 30 minutes to ensure no reaction to benepali.

Maybe you should be having it twice weekly as it’s only 25 mg, whereas mine is a 50mg once weekly. Glad it went well,

Good luck I had my up and down at first they say it takes 12 weeks to get the full benefit but mine took a little longer what I will say is I did see a difference straight away but a few hiccups along the way I way over 5 months on it and I’m doing brilliant so give it a good go it’s been a life changer for me , I wish you well.
