Many thanks Jeff.
Many thanks Jeff.

Really good information and advice. I'd probably feel a lot more confident (but still skittish as you describe it) having read your post. Really appreciate it.

However, as it happens, I was lucky this afternoon and picked up a canceled appointment with a local doctor online for tomorrow afternoon. That never usually happens. I have to go anyway for a tetanus jab because of my now low autoimmunity levels so I'll ask the doctor to do the Acemetra at the same time and ask her to teach me how to do it too. Your email routine sounds like a brilliant idea. I'll make sure I do that too. Many thanks again for your advice. I'll print off your instructions so I'll have them at hand once I start to do the injections myself. The only thing I'm concerned about is taking a new strong medicine when I feel so ill.

For what it's worth, I've never felt much from the Actemra. I know it's working, because I've been able to taper down on the prednisone to 5 mg so far, but it's not like prednisone that makes you feel hyper, causes insomnia, etc. Early on I felt a little tired sometimes the day after the Actemra shots, but it was never very bad. Now I don't feel that anymore.
