KEVZARA approved 9/29, side effects or positive info?

I inject kevzara alternating on each side of my belly button 2 inches from my belly button. I pinch my skin at the area using both hands, so i have a small roll and that ensures the kevzara is injected into my body fat and not my muscle. My wife injects the kevzara and holds the needle in after the click for a couple of extra seconds. That way the kevzara does not come out when the needle is removed. I can feel a small bump from the kevzara under my skin usually to the outside of the shot site. The bump disappears within an hour. I uses an alcohol wipe before and after the shot to cleanse the area. After 3 years, I have had no issues at the injection site area. I keep a record of the date, the side injected into, the amount and number of days between injections. I also record other pertinent information like illnesses, operations, medication changes,etc with date in my record.

@boomermeg instructions are to alternate sites. I keep track of which leg I inject on my calendar so I know to inject the opposite one the next time. It’s pretty easy.

I can't advise you but I took 1 jab 2 weeks ago and a few hours later I got chills,fever and nausea and vomiting...I was better in an hour,but I haven't taken my 2nd injection which was due Tuesday. My rheumy said to just take allegra the day before and day of injection. She didn't seem overly concerned. People on another group I follow said they have been fine with it mostly. So it's very individual.

Thank you for sharing all this with me. It helps to know how people actually use it and what their response has been. The record keeping is a good idea. I really appreciate all the tips about how you prepare, do it and what you do afterwards as well as what you might experience afterwards. Really appreciate it. Helps to feel less like I'm doing this "injection" without any real information on how to or what to expect. Everyone's input is so helpful. Thank you again. Blessings.

@caroljeand
Thank you so much. I think calendar is a great idea to keep track of which side etc. I'll probably keep other pertinent info like what time etc as it's totally new to me.
I appreciate your help. Blessings.

@boomermeg
Kevzara comes with very good instructions.
Note belly buttons has 4 ways, sides and top and bottom.
I do it like a clock.
Anyone I’ve read abt legs and arms are not so comfortable.

@mp71
I'm sorry to hear about your reactions. Not what you want at all.
Was that your 1st one?

@boomermeg yes...i was going to tough it out and do the second one but I chickened out
