I did it....I became McGyver and assembled the components of my Enbrel shot, while my doctor watched....and I gave myself a shot in the thigh...
Wow, was I nervous...didn't eat, had to wait, finally got in the doc's office and she would not give me the shot as it just came out of the fridge and she said that it must be room temp....so another hour down...then she walked me through it and I did it....and I sat there, having put it all together, and looked at the shot....and I thought "I hold the power....the power in my hands...to biologically modify myself..." and I thought of the movie "Altered States" with William Hurt...and then my doc, she is saying, "ok, stick it in, go ahead...come on...just do it" and I COULD NOT DO IT for like ten seconds....and then I plunged that sucker into my thigh, and you know what? It didn't hurt, it was so easy, the shot is the easiest part by far!! I had heard this from all you good people on Enbrel, and now I know...so, now my second shot will be on Saturday, and I will post updates in the Pharmacy section at KA....
Woo-hoo, yee-haw, Boo-Ya, time to rock...
Peace
