Benepali v. Enbrel

Just had a benepali injection fail. Liquid all over my leg. Not as effective as Enbrel. Does anyone agree. Been on benepali for six months. Pain is gradually returning.

Same with me

How long were you on Enbrel. I was on it for about four years and it worked great. I am seeing my constant next week. I want to go back on it. Will let you know what he says. I am so tired and aching on benepali.

Never on embrel. Cheap version for me. Now stopped mtx as the third time running guts out of me. Phoned hospital and left message. Scared as I am getting sorer every day

I am now allowed to go back onto Enbrel because of my returning pain. Hooray!!

They are adding sulphasalazine to my benepali as could not tolerate mtx. My brother was on this and had problems. I shall probably be the same. See Rheumy in July. I shall ask then if problems with adding sulphasalazine. Nothing ventured nothing gained. Are you only on embrel?

No am on methotrexate 10mg weekly. Used to inject methotrexate weekly before Enbrel. Have psoriatic arthritis which is very similar to RA. Had it since age 23 now 71. Can't wait to get back on Enbrel. Changed my life. Don't like benepali but gave it a good try for nine months. Good luck
