Been on it for just over a year. No side effects whatsoever. Had the ta dah effect the next day. Twelve weeks later in clinical remission. Good Luck xx

Easy to use, and I had no ill effects, but my rheumatologist didn't think it was working as it should, so I am no longer on it (however, when I did stop, and the few months before I started a new drug, I had lotsmof pain and inflammation, so it must have been doing something right)

Hello

You will need to wait and see, we are all different

Good Luck

I have been on Enbrel for several years now. It got me back on my feet and out walking every day. I did five miles with the ramblers yesterday. So I hope it works as well for you.... go for it! xx

Worked great for me but after a few months I developed a rash all over so I had to come off it. It is a great drug though. All the best with it. X

I used to get HUGE rashes at the injection site, very itchy but this improved with time. The rash was a great trade-off for being pain free though! No side effects otherwise, go for it and believe in it, I became pain free within 36 hours of starting it! Pain returned after a few months but I think that was due to other factors in life. Best of luck, stay positive and it could work like magic!
