Yes - miracle drug for me. Unfortunately, none of the drugs work for everyone. I hope it works for you! I felt much better by the next day, and ramain very well after 6 months on it.

Enbrel has been a miracle for me. I was on methotrexate and leflunomide, which was great... for about a month. Then I started having horrible pain again and Enbrel was added to the mix. Literally the next morning after I injected I was pain free and I’ve been pain free since. It’s incredible!

It’ works for me - I’ve been on it about 14 years with no side effects other than bruising at the injection site. I’m not pain free and I also take mtx, folic acid, dihydrocodeine and amitriptyline but compared with how I was before I started Enbrel it’s a minor miracle!

It worked well for me. Unfortunately I’ve been changed to the biosimilar Benepali and that isn’t working so well.

I’m on enbrel, been on it since November 2012. I felt it start to work the next day. Twelve weeks after starting it was in clinical remission and still am. No side effects at all, no pain relief required. I call it my magic potion. Hope it works it’s magic for you.

No drugs needed! Zero pain and inflammation! I just avoid cancerous foods and additives! No side effects! I simply don’t eat inflammatory foods like meat and dairy!
