#inflectra — Public Fediverse posts

#Inflectra tauchte zum ersten Mal im Protokoll der 165. Sitzung des 20. Deutschen Bundestages am 24.04.2024 auf. Das Protokoll findet sich unter https://dserver.bundestag.de/btp/20/20165.pdf

This is my first allergy season on super mega doses of immune suppressants. So I guess I get to pick from getting sores from using non-lotion tissues, and they'll eventually get infected, or I can get pimples from using lotion-y tissues. yay. Both hurt. #NEISvoid #Inflectra #Methotrexate #PsoriaticArthritis #Pollen

I HATE health"care" in the US. When I checked in for my infusion this afternoon, they asked me to prepay the $2800 bill.

Me: Why?

#Kaiser: It's your first treatment of the new year. Your last was in late December.

Me: Yeah, I know when I had my last infusion but why am I being asked to prepay for it? I've never been asked to prepay before and besides #Pfizer pays for it.

K: Oh? Are you part of a trial? Why isn't that on your chart? 1/3

I saw my #Rheumatologist in person today for the first time since #Humira caused my liver and kidney debacle. She listened to me. She explained why she isn't keen on what I want (my #Methotrexate back), but she understands why I want it. In the end, she came up with a treatment plan that is aggressive (more #Inflectra more often and a wee methotrexate dose) but will hopefully not send my liver and kidneys into a spiral. I left her office feeling heard. 🩷 Such a gift to a patient. #NEISVoid

So I had my #inflectra infusion on Friday for my #crohnsdisease as got a new nurse who was real sweet but she MANGLED my arm.

Stuck me once, missed, went fishing 😭

Stuck me again, missed, went fishing 😡

Third time, she got me finally. Then took my blood pressure and it was pretty high I said

"Give me a minute I'm decompressing."

I think it's time for this #inflectra beer mat to retire.
The #testingpeers replacement is there to the rescue!
Thanks to @christovskia for handing it to me!
