Saw Dr. Lorenzo again on Friday (May 28). Although I said I was biased for the IV because it meant fewer objections, he asked if I wouldnt prefer the arm-injected Enbrel because it was a very small needle. He or Kat said ant bite. He can send a nurse to administer the injections. I guess the medicine is so expensive that that is part of the service. I was persuaded.
Left foot wasnt good this weekend. Yesterday I told Kat ``let's get those damned injections na!''
He's prescribing two injections a week for a month and said we can probably reduce to 1 a week after that. When we talked about the ``bridge'' concept, he said there is room for flexibility and we could try it. I'll remain on 5 tablets of MTX a week.
This all assumes I'm cleared for TB. Will take that test by tomorrow.
