I haven't started it yet but will be starting it soon. Currently waiting to hear from the pharmacy (the doctor has already put in the order for it)
I had heard that the injection is more painful than some of the other bios. The nurse said to perhaps let it set at room temperature for 40-45 minutes instead of 30. Also I read that you can use an ice pack and ice the area first (only I can't remember where I read that.... I'll have to look back through the papers the doctor gave me)
I can't say I'm looking forward to it with hearing that it can be painful. I didn't have an issue at all with Stelara or Cosentyx being painful. I'm a bit of a wuss and although needles don't bother me.... self inflicting pain has never been my strong point.
I'll be following your progress with interest. Hope it works well for you!
