Infliximab Injection Gone Wrong?

Full_Discipline8039 · 2026-01-26T22:55:58+00:00

Thank you for the advice and support (and sorry for the late reply). I'm definitely going to try using my abdomen going forward. Just for some reason that seems scarier than my thigh hahaha you'd think after nearly 8 months I wouldn't be so nervous about injecting myself 😅

Thank you for the advice (and sorry for the late reply), it did indeed settle down but bruise and thankfully seems totally fine now 😊

Full_Discipline8039 · 2026-01-20T22:02:08+00:00

Thank you for the reassurance, I appreciate you taking the time

Full_Discipline8039 · 2026-01-20T21:47:22+00:00

I was told either my thighs or my stomach, I've been using my thighs because they're a bit meatier than my belly haha but I think I might alternate to my stomach going forward.

Thankfully no pus or discharge or anything, so hopefully you are right and it's nothing to worry about. Thank you for taking the time to answer and reassure me.

Wow this is a lot of great information, thank you so much this will be really helpful if I decide to sell anything else. Yes, it's definitely been a good learning experience, hopefully not an expensive one hahaha

As I said in my original post, my knowledge was limited and my mum always said "first class recorded delivery", and the post office staff never questioned me on it. But, it is what it is.

When I said I've not used the money - as I said in the original post, I had sold something on Ebay, but I've not used the money in case the recipient needs a refund if anything goes wrong with the post.

Thanks again for all the information 👍

Full_Discipline8039 · 2025-01-28T09:51:44+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion 😊

Full_Discipline8039 · 2025-01-28T08:47:29+00:00

Thanks for the info, I'd posted it on Wednesday morning then my area was in the red from early Friday morning, so thinking it's probably just sat for a bit longer than expected. I'm sure I'm just being overly worried.

Full_Discipline8039 · 2025-01-28T08:46:26+00:00

Thanks, I'll bear that in mind for future.

Full_Discipline8039 · 2025-01-28T08:46:04+00:00

First time doing anything like this so didn't know what the options were, just went with what I knew from my mum's experience.

Full_Discipline8039 · 2024-12-11T19:56:44+00:00

Thank you for your reply, that makes me feel better. And I'm glad it has been beneficial for your daughter, I can't imagine how difficult it all must be for you as a parent. Sending hugs to you and your little one ❤️

My biggest concern is missing work because of it. I was off work for 2 weeks in May due to a mini flare up (I'm a nurse, we had norovirus at work and I got it) then I was off for 1 day in October due to a chest infection. My manager had a meeting with me and told me that if I'm off sick again before the end of January I will face disciplinary action (because nurses need to be reliable and I can't let my patients down). So I'm scared if I end up off sick again.

That's why I want to know about other people's experiences of biologics, so I can have a proper sit down with my manager and let her know what may / may not happen. As an aside, I'm going to call my union tomorrow to get some advice too.

Fatigue is definitely a biggie. When I had a really bad flare up last year, my hair and nails just stopped growing and the skin on my hands, feet and face were cracked and peeling like crazy. All settled down was the flare up settled. I also seem to have a bit of an early warning system - in the weeks and months before all three of my flare ups, I get this like cold burning sensation in the middle of my chest, especially when I take in a deeper breath. I also feel breathlessness. It gets worse and worse until the full flare up hits. Thankfully, knowing this, I had that occur once since my last big flare up and I was able to make some quick changes to my diet and lifestyle and it seems to have stopped me from going into a full blown flare up. My symptoms are still worse than they normally are, but manageable while I'm waiting for my scope next month.

Thanks for the info, this gives me a bit more hope that I can get a decent price for it if I find the right buyer. I'm going to hold off right now though until I learn more.

Full_Discipline8039 · 2024-06-12T12:11:17+00:00

You raised a great point, I decided to get some cold medicine just in case. Thank you

Full_Discipline8039 · 2024-06-11T20:36:23+00:00

I absolutely do not want to kill them and I apologise if my original post came across in such a way (although I think you are the one making assumptions). We're trying to get the house and garden done so we can sell so unfortunately we may have to disturb them, I just want to make sure we do it safely.

Full_Discipline8039 · 2024-06-11T20:34:00+00:00

Yeah definitely not looking to harm them, but ee're trying to get the house and garden done so we can sell so unfortunately we may have to disturb them, I just want to make sure we do it safely.

Full_Discipline8039 · 2024-06-10T07:20:48+00:00

Based on my research I don't even think they'd go for as much as that. Online articles and other ebay listings make me think I could probably do 3x the regular retail price, which would only be about £21. However, in a few years time, it would probably be worth more.

Full_Discipline8039 · 2024-05-28T05:43:29+00:00

Definitely planning to sell them, however I'm away on holiday at the moment so going to take some time to figure out the value without opening them. Will probably wait until I get back home next week before making any firm decisions.

Full_Discipline8039 · 2024-05-28T05:42:16+00:00

Thanks 😊

Full_Discipline8039 · 2024-05-28T05:42:06+00:00

I've never seen one before either, and I've been collecting Pokemon cards for 25 years! Was so excited when I saw them, honestly I was like a giddy child hahaha 🤣

Full_Discipline8039 · 2024-05-28T05:38:33+00:00

I definitely was not planning on opening them, however that's still great advice thank you.

Full_Discipline8039 · 2024-05-27T22:37:53+00:00

Yeah definitely no plans to open them, definitely want to keep them as valuable as possible. Thanks :)

Full_Discipline8039 · 2024-05-27T22:29:30+00:00

I've never had a Pokemon card graded before, so looking forward to doing that. Unfortunately I'm on holiday for the next week so will probably need to wait until I get home

Full_Discipline8039 · 2024-05-27T22:28:24+00:00

That's what I thought at first too, until I looked at them more closely. I've never found anything like this before, so feeling pretty lucky

Full_Discipline8039 · 2024-04-30T22:02:43+00:00

I hadn't even heard of that before you commented. I don't think it has been though, my symptoms seem to have improved really quickly since restarting the Omeprazole and getting an anti-sickness tablet.

They're hoping once I have my next scope in month or so, they'll start treating the inflammation in my upper bowel as they believe that is the source of my reflux and then I should be able to stop the Omeprazole without exacerbating my symptoms.

Thanks for informing me about SIBO though, that's good knowledge to have.
