I have been off Enbrel since my bike accident. After my bike accident I didn't do my shots because I had a concussion. Then I didn't do the shots because I had so many bruises that I couldn't find a spot to stick myself that was not bruised.
Then I cut my leg and was on antibiotics. So I didn't go back on Enbrel. I can't be on Enbrel when I am on antibiotics because I tend to get infections. I just got my stitches out and now I can go back on Enbrel.
My joints have been pretty good through out all these incidents. I can't figure out why. I guess I am hurting other places so my joints don't seem to hurt so bad. Ha! I don't know.
So tonight I do the shot.
Until tomorrow...
Glad you're able to start back on your med, Adrienne.You know, I've noticed that too--when I was bitten by my dog years ago, and more recently by my cat, my RD was quiet. You'd think being injured and stressed, it would flare up badly, but no... Maybe it's because all those Keystone Kop antibodies, which are usually attacking the joints by mistake, are busy attacking legitimate bacterial infections instead. They're too busy to screw around with healthy tissue!
ReplyDeleteHeheh--I figure that's as good a theory as any. Hey--Happy New Year! Wishing you and yours the best. :o)
