hi everyone my delivery on enbrel is coming tomorrow only 10days after my assessment im really pleased.
Just wanted to know how long it takes for the nurse to come to show me how to use it as im desperate and in alot of pain so am hoping she will come pretty quickly, if anyone has any experience of this could they let me know .
thanks

Hi
If I remember rightly, the nurse came out the following week after delivery. She also wanted to come out the week after but I didn't need her as I managed the injections fine.
The good news was it worked immediately, no waiting for weeks. It changed my life until it stopped working a year later.
Anyway, good luck
Take care

It is ok once you get used to it and the only real side effect to watch for is a skin rash where you inject, they say its best to alternate where you normaly inject say if you do it in your leg the next time do it in the other.
It suppresses your immune system so maybe more prone to infections but if you have been on things like aziathioprine this is similar.
Just make sure you get a flu jab when the time comes.0
