Out of hospital Pt2

[wilbertjellyfish]

I've escaped again. At least this time I feel lots better. I'm on more steroids. Slowly reducing and Anakinra... daily biologic. It's an actual syringe job so it's as well I'm a vet and used to giving injections. It's worse injecting yourself but I'll get on with it. Fingers crossed I'll be a new woman in the new year. 🙌

Good to hear that you are doing better. As an ex-farmer handling the syringe wasn't an issue for me when started to my biologic. I've never had an issue with injecting myself. However when I tell some folks that I inject into my abdomen they freak out saying that could never do that. I had issues using my thigh. Being male and relatively fit there was little subcutaneous fat and the Cimzia was ending up in muscle. I got a wee bit of a reaction there which I don't get in belly.

[Wannabeabago in reply to Scottishlad]

How do you find the Cimzia? Any side effects at all? Asking as I’m about to go back on it after trying to work out some possible side effects.

[Scottishlad in reply to Wannabeabago]

It's worked well for me, been quite a few years and no side-effects.

[wilbertjellyfish in reply to Scottishlad]

Lol. I'm a farmers daughter and wife and a vet. The syringe thing is fine and injecting hairy animals all ok. It's the human skin thing. Luckily!! I've had a few kids and have a good belly for injections. The pen biologics I had in the past I used my thighs but this I think would hurt. Still it has to be done. Thanks for the reply, gave me a laugh.

so pleased you’ve escaped again. Wishing you a happy healthy Christmas try not to do too much if that’s possible and hopefully you’ll remain at home and no more hospital stays.

[spartacus101]

I was wondering how you were getting on and whether you had managed to make it out. I hope you experience a swift improvement.
