Chicken pox in school again but now using Cimzia- what to do?
Shingles is reported to occur more frequently in patients on anti-TNF although less so in patients on
Enbrel
than with Remicade or Humira. It is not yet known how frequently it occurs in Cimzia treated patients but it is assumed that there may be a small increased risk.

All about Kay in France
Moved to France (Picardie) in 2003 and have several major flares and drug changes since (Leflunomide, Methoxtrate,
Enbrel
, Abtacept, Tocilizumab) - some due to secondary effects/allergic reactions, and some to the fact that the drug didn't do a lot.

Compression gloves???
I am waiting to start on
Enbrel
but because of planned eye operation, my wait will be even longer. I've been on prednisolone prior to and during my
Enbrel
assessment but unless i take large doses (which my rheumatologist doesn't want) I'm in persistent pain from my hands.

Teeth and meds
I'm taking methotrexate and
enbrel
. My teeth are cracking. I had one out last week and another cracked today- so another trip to the dentist this week! My teeth have always been perfect. Has anyone experienced this? Could it be the disease or the meds?

White blood count
I inject 15mg of methotrexate and
Enbrel
! Easy to say not to worry - I could just be more prone to infection - but I'm sure someone on here can tell me more!

Hello
Failed on various DMARDS and was eventually put on
enbrel
in 2003 along with methotrexate. I'm currently in remission but still on the meds and have been taking BP and statin medication for some time. oh and that's a pic of my greyhound Taffy. Better than any medication 😄.

Ra and Benepali
Hi everyone, due to start Benepali a biosimilar of
Enbrel
for Ra. Long story short, crapping myself worrying about side effects etc due to what I've read about biologics. Anyone have any views on
Enbrel
or Benepali. Thanks

Benepali not working as well as Enbrel???
I switched to Benepali 6 months ago from
Enbrel
. Since then, I've been getting worse. Terrible fatigue, lots of swollen joints, my knee has ballooned...but my blood tests aren't showing anything? I rang my Rheumatology nurse who wasn't very sympathetic and made me feel as if I was making it up.

Benepali v. Enbrel
Not as effective as
Enbrel
. Does anyone agree. Been on benepali for six months. Pain is gradually returning.

Methotrexate and enbrel
I am due to take methotrexate (25mgs) tonight and
enbrel
on Tuesday. Is it ok to take these when feeling poorly? My thinking is I have a cold and cough that's probably viral, as opposed to bacterial and therefore, it should be ok? Ami right to think so?

Swings and roundabouts
After speaking to rhuemy, I was told to stop the
enbrel
too. This is the 5/6 day of taking antibiotics and my cough seems to be getting worse, instead of better. More than this, my joints ( those that are my own!) are sore and stiff and my hands are so swollen and painful.

Rash
I'm on
enbrel
injection and hydroxychloroquine. I've recently stopped methotrexate injection. Has anyone had similar marks appear?

Employer insisting I work overtime
I have AS and am currently on
Enbrel
which has been a godsend painwise. I still suffer fatigue and the exhaustion is hard to manage. I am a Detective on a child abuse unit which is very demanding. For the most part I juggle my health issues well and sustain full time work will low absence levels.

Enbrel injection painful?
Hi, is there anyone currently injecting
Enbrel
? After trying another bio (Simponi) and feeling really good on it, I have had to be taken off it due to a rash that appeared. I am shortly being put on
Enbrel
. I have read in various places that the pen has a bit of a fierce "kick" when injected!
