At Last!!!!!!!

Hi all. 4months after allergic reaction and 3 months after DAS test I started on Erelzi (Etanercept) today. Fingers crossed this medication will help get on top of this horrible disease.

Well done Jim !

Wish you the very best on Etanercept. ( Enbrel, Benepali etc) its been great for me. Like you, I was unable to tolerate traditional DMARDs.

Keep us posted how you go.

I hope it does help you soon.

I've been on benepali 25mg weekly for almost 12 weeks and 6 weeks ago increased to 50mg. The rheumatologist was being cautious as I also had a chest problem at time of starting the benepali as well and waited for respiratory review.

As not fibrosis increased to 50mg. The swelling and pain on wrists has reduced but not 100%.

I just wish tiredness and fatigue will go as it's pulling me down.
