I stopped after 18 months. It caused severe breathing problems for me. Respiratory consultant had not seen them before.

No I was very lucky not to have any side effects of Enbrel and found it useful. I'm sorry you had a hard time with it and hope the respiratory consultant is helping you.

Thankfully symptoms reversed when meds stopped. Was a scary for first time on biologicals. Taking tocilizumab now. Just started reading comments. Nice to see so many with understanding of RA. Nasty illness those new to it need support like this

Can sometimes be a problem I understand?.

Your Consultant and RA nurse will be keeping an eye on you

I was very bad on Cimzia, couldn't dress myself without gasping for breath I finally convinced them it was Cimzia. I refused to take another injection. I was given steroids and the results in days was amazing. I had an allergic reaction to the Cimzia.
