Oooh Valde!
I don't know the answer, but reckon you will have to have a good memory so you can swap areas and 'rest' them enough??
Left leg (or left side of tummy) for one medication and right for the other??

I'm not entirely sure what you are asking, Valde. I do my methotrexate on a weekly basis, usually on a Thursday. My humira is fortnightly so I usually do that on a Monday so the two are separated. For the meth I alternate thighs, for the humira stomach and I note what's going where on the kitchen calendar. I hope this helps. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this.

Good evening
Sorry I was a bit confusing. I was asking how people manage the two injections but now realise they should not be taken on same day. I have spoken to the health people who are delivering my Enbrel to home and they said this as did my Rheumy nurse. I am taking my first Enbrel on Monday at injection training and taking methotrexate injection on Wednesday. Fingers crossed I will feel OK with the Enbrel. Thanks for all advice.0 -
Ah!
Best of luck for tomorrow Valde ((()))

Good luck from me too, valde.If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

I wish you very well, Valde. It is a daunting prospect so keep a clear, written record of what's done where and when. When I begin a month on the calendar I fill in the relevant info for that month: which drug and which place. As the month passes I tick when done but, should I miss a dose for whatever reason, I note that too.
When it's 'flu jab time I ensure I have that on just a meth week and I don't take the meth (that was on the advice of my hospital) so that's another thing to build in to the programme. The fun never ends. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0
