Miss J doing her weekly Enbrel injection for JRA & Uveitis

[danielgary]

The video of your daughter getting her injection helped my daughter get used to taking hers, so we wanted to post one of our own in the hopes it will help others.

Thank you very much, and I hope that your daughter is doing well with her medication.

She is a brave little girl, I take the autoinjecter shot of Enbrel and it flat hurts and burns.........

[peaceloveartritis]

I have polyarticular jra,iv had it since I was 6 1/2 months, I take humaira,heavy doses of methotrexate,embrel,and on occasion remicade(I.v infusion)

[skunkmaster72]

@peaceloveartritis Jordan was 2 when her arthritis showed up and she has poly JRA too. She's been on Enbrel, Humira and just started Remicade infusions 4 weeks ago. So far so good :) Her eyes are inflammation free for the first time in months! I just hope her weekly MTX shot and her Remicade puts her into remission.

You did such a good job!!! I take enbrel every week too and you do a way better job than me...and I'm 29.

My daughter Abigail is about to start Enbrel after a really bad JRA flareup... she took it about 6 years ago and it worked so well!

She, luckily, doesnt have the eye inflamation, but she is one of the youngest cases of Polyarticular JRA kiddos they have seen... she's had it since 7 1/2 mos.

I think I'll record her tomorrow when we start it and share with your daughter. :) It's good for them to see they aren't alone.

i have jra 2 and i start enbrel soon and i hope it dont hurt 2 much

[levszesz5]

hi! sorry i write english very bad(i'm from hungary), but i'd like to ask something about this injection.This enbrel injection is for spa?(i have this illnes too,and maybe i have to use it, will receive)

thanks for help and have a good time.

[justanothertxgirl]

Such a very brave girl!! I know very well how much those Enbrel shots hurt. I also used to take the MTX injection. I hope and wish everything turns out well for her. Keep up the good work sweetheart. Much love Amanda

[livelaughlove223]

Ohhh, she did such a good job!

I have JRA as well and am on Humira and Methotrexate injections...I hope she's doing good! <3

[skunkmaster72]

She's on oral MTX too :( She hates it but she knows what can happen if she doesn't take it. She's much rather take the meds and the shot then not be able to run and play again. Hope you're doing good too ♥

Brave girl

I hope I'm that brave when I start my Enbrel shot next week

[Emilyarr123]

thanks for explaining, i bet she prefers that instead of once a week =)

she is very brave

[Emilyarr123]

What does she have to have the shot for?

[skunkmaster72]

She has Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis and Uveitis. Since this video she's switched medication and is now on Humira doing an injections once every 2 weeks instead of once a week.

[butterflylady74]

why did was her medications switched? I have had JRA since I was 18 mo old now I'm 34 and have been taking the Enbrel for almost 1 yrs. What makes Humira different for her?

[Stillonthejourney]

awe. i take enbrel for JAS. She's brave. I know it hurts really bad :( more than normal shots.

i'm like her too. i always tell my mom.

WIPE THE NEEDLE OFF!
