I started
enbrel
a few months ago and was feeling great, but now I seem to be back where I started. Today I’m in pain on bed rest. When I try to put weight on my joints they feel ragged. I can almost feel the damage worsening.

enbrel/ etenercept/benpali
I was on
enbrel
/etenercept for ten years and then it stopped working and I have now been through around 6/7 different biologics/anti tnfs and now I'm back to benpali which is
enbrel
with a different name made by a different manufacturer (Samsung ) I take it with methotrexate and it seemed to be working

Introduction
I’m on
Enbrel
but it seems like it less than directive than when I first started. I can’t be active like I want and if I’m in the same position for too long I have trouble moving at all. I have found that paying attention to diet really helped in the past. I’m just too depressed to care lately.

Sudden knee pain
The specialist at the time did think that taking immune suppressing meds, namely
enbrel
, was the main cause of the infected hip. I'm sat here in my recliner hoping that the hot water on my knee will cure the problem. If it doesn't then I'm not sure what to do for the best?

Biologics & pain relief
Do all those who started in
enbrel
or other biologics get quick pain relief, or slow pain relief? Do muscles & stiffness and pain get better tolerated as you take it?

Radio 4 programme today on biosimiliar drugs
My husband was on
enbrel
five for 5 years. He was then switched to Benepali within weeks his behaviour changed. He then got anti nmdar encephalitis. He nearly died twice. I think giving people first line biosimiliar may be okay I think switching a person between the drugs is not okay.

Mild symptoms vs drug side effects
Had rotten side effects with both so rheumy has prescribed
enbrel
. My symptoms are mild. I'm not in pain. It's mostly stiffness and tiredness. Anyone out there with similar symptoms that decided not to take meds?

Anyone been refused switching back to Enbrel?
Has anyone been refused when they have asked to go back to
Enbrel
? Well, I've finally bitten the bullet and asked to go back to
Enbrel
injections. I've had 14 weeks on Benepali and have gone slowly downhill to the point where I'm worse than when I started

Severe pain
I’ve already been through humira and
enbrel
as well neither of which worked for me. But this particular post I’m looking for immediate relief for my pain right now. I feel like I’ve run out of options and heating and icing is about all I’ve got left for the least bit of relief.

Goodbye Benepali!
Well after 14 weeks, the last 8 being absolutely dreadful, finally got the news today that I'm being switched back to
Enbrel
😀. It took a lot of pestering, a couple of hospitaI visits and a depo injection but finally got there.

What other meds can I try?
I’ve already taken Humira and
Enbrel
in combination with the Otrexup and didn’t have good results with either of those after a few months. I feel like I’m running out of options of medications that could potentially help. Any suggestions?

Benepali short lasting effectiveness?
I didn't experience this with
Enbrel
, in fact I sometimes could stretch to 10-12 days between injections if I didn't want the hassle of taking them abroad. Anyone else notice this?

Anyone else have no support or help at home?
Have tried Methatrexate, Sulph, Cimzia,
Enbrel
, too many steroid injections to remember. Now in Abatercept infusions and started Leflunomide 2 weeks ago. I feel like I have a permanent hangover and my joints are so sore.

Enbrel injection rash days later
I have been off of
Enbrel
(previously took it for 6 years with great results) due to health insurance not covering it. But, my doctor is fighting it, so I just started my
Enbrel
shot a few days ago. No issue, but woke up this morning with a rash around the injection site. Is this normal?
