Advice & Tips
Face/Neck rash and rough skin started a day after my third dose, one month after starting on the drug.
Significantly improved swelling of knees, hips, ankles, and wrists... perhaps elbows as well.
DON'T TAKE COLD! Don't use rubbing alcohol in place of alcohol swipes.

Advice & Tips
ice the area for a few mins before inj. It helps with the pain and I have had no bruising or the "itchy lump" reaction since doing this.
i have had a remarkable improvement, I had 3 days a week in bed, now I can walk 3 kms. It has slowed the deformity in my hands.
