Injection number 2 was not as great as number 1. The meds stung going in, whereas the first time I didn’t feel the liquid at all. The welt was not as bad and the following day I didn’t swell there unlike last week.
But an hour later, I felt like a volcano. Sorry for the TMI but this just might help someone else who gets this reaction. They’ll know it’s not only them. Just under an hour after I injected myself, I needed the loo for a number two if you get my drift. But before I could get up from the loo, I felt this awful burning fire going up from my groin and making my belly feel like it will explode.
Fire spread up to my navel, then up to my sternum. I was in excruciating pain, I almost hobbled out to my son to ask him to take me to hospital. I’ve never felt that before. I was on fire inside. And the movement I had had was very loose. Sorry again…
I couldn’t bear the pain yet didn’t feel I should go to the hospital. I googled kf Enbrel can cause stomach problems and found this.
What would they do at hospital seeing as this was normal anyway? So I sent voice notes to maybe five people, and begged them to pray for me.
One told me my voice frightened them. A male. Another asked if I wasn’t sure I shouldn’t go to hospital. My mom in Zimbabwe-she felt utterly helpless and asked where my husband was.
Speaking of husband…He’d commented that it was my day to do my injection and asked if I was ready. I told him, “You know, I don’t know. I don’t know anymore. I need to try. But some with reactions get worse with each injection. What if it becomes worse than just the thigh issue and mild headache?”
Boy was I right! But I didn’t expect it at all! Not this! And here I am blogging two days later and my stomach isn’t doing great.
Time will tell…
