[@tonysobon4669]

Why is it so hard to find any updated videos on this topic.

[@imutumpai]

Thank you so much doctor, appriciate your help

[@MickeyCreole]

Thank you for this video! I found out today that I'm about to start this treatment therapy within the next two weeks, and have been in a panic as I don't like injections although I don't mind blood tests that I have very regular because of my declining health. However, after watch your informative video, I feel so relieved to see that it's not your atypical injections but something far more humane. I know it's pathetic of me to panic over injections, especially as I have regular blood tests, but there are a differences between the two: one doesn't hurt and the other is very painful. Anyway, at least I know now what to expect so thank you so much

How did it go after you started the Enbrel injections? I've taken two and the pain was unbearable.

[@oreldoron5613]

​@sagrammyfour for me humira was way less painful. The needle of enblrel wider. I don't like it. Also, humira is a very similar drug, so I don't see any reason for not switching between them.

Thanks

[@etienneemond201]

my understanding is that it can be injected perispinally can you make a video on that procedure?

[@wobblewobble7330]

On Enbrel years but from time to time when I deploy; injection does not sting me? Could it be faulty ? Thank you

[@elvisrodriguez6256]

What if I only behave the regular needle

[@pinkdictionarychandler4939]

Hi Victoria, thank you for your video :) Yes I am a patient with Spondyloarthritis and have to use Enbrel. May I know where I could purchase the pad you used to apply the injection? This would be very helpful for me to practise applying the shot. Thank you!!

[@AshleyKielesinska]

Hi @Pinkdictionary Chandler you could always practice on an orange with the skin on. It mimics the feeling of injecting into the skin. Otherwise you can find practice injection pads on Amazon!

[@jimpeveler7574]

I’ve been giving my shots with syringes all my life I’ve always yeah at least for 20 years but this is new and I gave myself an injection with that automatically but I didn’t have a blue indicator it had a yellow so did I do something wrong?

[@LilithMonster93]

No you didn't. Mine is yellow as well.

[@midyakamal2875]

Hello , this injection its therapy for rheumatology??

[@kombizz]

Yes it is.

[@midorialexandros]

Thank you for your video. The one off their website really sucks. I am really scared to do my very first dose still, but now I know what to expect from the pen. I used Humira before, this is a bit different

[@midorialexandros]

Update for anyone reading: It hurt a lot less than I expected, I did the pinch method, I wouldn't be able to do the "pull" method. It's actually nice that you have the plunger circle to know how hard to push and hold the needle there. I think this is a much thinner needle than the one that was used for my humira pens. Overall I feel like it hurt less. I also think there is a lot more liquid in these, in the sense that the humira always felt "tough" under my skin until it started to absorb, maybe like it was a thicker liquid.

[@zunairarizvi894]

@@midorialexandros Are you feeling any side effects from Enbrel? And if you don't mind me asking why did you go off Humira? I'm making the switch myself from Humira to Enbrel. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and have been on Humira for 5 years but of late I've been experiencing extreme anxiety 2 days after Humira injection, hence the change.

NHS England, recommend Not Pinching Skin.

How to inject enbral peri spinaly?

[@wobblewobble7330]

Cost of injections in eueos??. ie box 4 by 50 mill nice vid 😁👍

[@jmcframe]

Erelzi, which is the biosimilar of Enbrel, is about 1.400 Euros per pen. So 4 pens are about 5.600 Euros. Enbrel might be about 30-50% more expensive I guess.

[@donstewart368]

I would like to use this if the co pay wasn't $1000.00. Highway robery.

[@Julie_Truly_in_KY]

Your rheumy should be able to provide you with a prescription card!

[@tayskat]

Oh my! I didn’t have any co-pay!

[@AuroraP4t3L]

Isn't the first thing you're going to do is take it out of the fridge???

[@MrJesus1961]

To much talking

[@midorialexandros]

Way better. The Embrel's website video, it's like 15 fucking minutes long.
