Hi Lee: You are so right....what was I thinking... cars have feelings too LOL I can't help but wonder why these people went into medicine...in too many cases I'm afraid it was just for the jingle in...
Hi Lee: I'm glad missie mentioned the TB test too. I had forgotten about it. I had to take one before they would put me on REMICADE, as well as having a chest xray.... and I was asked if I had had...
Hi Lee: I'm glad your pain has eased. I talked to someone else the other day who had also had a severe reaction to her first injection HUMIRA and I can't imagine how frightening it must be. I saw one...
