Has anyone taken the weekly shot a day early? I forgot to take it last night and now I'll be on a Monday schedule. Problem is I leave for a business trip on Monday, Nov. 7 at 7 a.m. so I will need dh to do the shot Sunday night. I can't imagine this will make me turn green or anything...lol

Michelle I have a few times taken my injection a day early, with no problems what so ever. I dont change my injection days schedule though I keep my regular days. I dont think you will have any problems at all having your inj on sunday night. lell.

Oh Mich! If I could only count the times I have messed up my schedule!! I tend to forget about my shot quite often if my roommate doesn't remind me. I sometimes take it a day early too depending on my schedule.

You should be fine!

Smiles, Jen

Michele - I was in a situation once where I was traveling and had to take my Enbrel a day early. I asked my pharmacist if that was okay, and he said it just makes you a little more susceptible to infection. I had no problem at all.
