Last Wednesday was week 6 for me on Taltz. I forgot to inject that day however but I did inject on Thursday (yesterday).
I took a picture but honestly I've decided not to post pictures unless there is any significant changes, as I feel I'm pretty much posting the same thing over and over again. Not a lot of change, perhaps a bit less red but still just as itchy. No significant change in joints, although I do think maybe a bit better there.
Giving the injection is same as before. I'll post should I have a bad reaction or if there is any change to speak of. I will update as injections are due even with no change just to let you know there's been nothing significant happening. Next injection is week 8 in two weeks.
Just to add, nurse called about a week back, said they would evaluate at next appointment but would keep me on Taltz until all loading doses were done (ends at week 12 then goes to maintenance dose, once every 4 weeks) and I'm only half way through the loading doses. So I have about 6 weeks to go and we'll see where things are then and go from there.

even more so if I have another reaction like that one time. But last two injections have only been a bit of redness at the injection site and a small swelling "bump" that goes away in a couple of days so that isn't too bad.
