hope all goes well for you.I injected with methotrexate for years,and then last year on Benepali,and did not have any problems.I dreaded doing it every Sunday eve,but it never hurt,so always wondered why I put it off until last minute!Now on JAKtablets one a day,and they are a miracle,so am convinced that nowadays with the wonderful range of drugs,there is something that works for us all.I am 80 next year and am almost pain free on the new meds,so you must believe that miracles can still happen !good luck keep us posted.

Thanks guys appointment went well apart from the blood test to check for tb before I start the amgevita. They are really struggling to get blood out me just now it took 3 nurses and an hour wait. I think it's cause I have had so much blood done lately because the methotrexate keep raising my liver levels. Anyway I've got my covid booster at the end of the month then a week later I can start the amgevita ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™

Good luck with the Amgevita x it was a game changer for me. It took about 6months before I noticed the difference though.

Hi, I was on amgevita for over 3 years and injecting is super easy and you will get use to it very quickly. Good luck. Try vitamine B12 if you start feeling very tired, or speak to your consultant. This was my only side effect. Good luck.

I find it no problem, other than I have had four faulty ones since Christmas, where the blue presser button didn't work. They're being collected tomorrow
