u/R-TTK

So frustrated, basically it clicked once but I didn't have it pushed in all the way and I panicked and pulled it out. I think I got like 5% of the dose.

I've waited so long for these, I was diagnosed 10 years ago and I've been fighting to get my dose as soon as possible for 3 months and then I go and mess up the first one.

I can't really explain how dissapointed I feel now. I should probably ring rheumatology and tell them but I just don't want to tell them for some reason, maybe embarrassment.

Finally getting my biologics next week!

Long time lurker/ occasional commenter!

I'm starting biologics after a very long and arduous 10 year health journey. I'm in the UK and whole the NHS is a blessing, but its been very difficult and It's taken me so long to get to this point and I'm so relieved!

The stress continues though for now! I'm worried about doing the injection (more doing it wrong etc) and also having side effects as right now I'm on no meds so I'm abit worried. I've always been abit of a hypochondriac though. One of my worries is I'm allergic to it lol.

I know that some people experience benefits in 3 days, some 3 months and some no benefits at all! It's all a mystery for me and I have ibd too so I'm hoping the meds help both!

Any tips anyone would like to share would be greatly appreciated!

I cannot put into words how hard it has been to get to this point. This sub has been so overwhelmingly helpful. For the longest time I felt alone, it's impossible for someone who's not experiencing what we deal with to understand. The events we have to miss, the walks we get anxious about, the fatigue and pain and lack of sleep. It's so nice to have this sub and to see I'm not the only one! So thanks guys!
