Hiya do u mean etanercept ( Enbrel) injections, I had them , I had no problems with them at all. Just after training to do it yourself, you inject weekly. Ask your Rheumy about side effects for your case. Generally healthcare at home set it up after being instructed by the hospital, and get them delivered to your home and you store them in the fridge. As I say I had no problems but it just wasn't helpful to me o they moved me onto anoth biological. If u look at the right hand side of this page on the popular tags there is a tag for Enbrel and if you contact NRAS they hav a terrific book on biologics.

Good luck with it all and hope it works quickly for you, remember we r all different in wht drugs are best for us.

I have been using Enbrel for several years with no difficulty or side effects apart from a little redm itchy patch where I inject sometimes but this soon goes. I find it best to inject into the fatty area round my tum.

I was on enbrel injections for 3 months but unfortunately they didn't help me and i am now on rituximab which has been much better but enbrel does help a lot people.
