I am comng off Leflunomide and the plan is to begin Enbrel Self Injection. Has anyone any comments about Enbrel...pro or con?
I saw my RA doctor yesterday and she began the tests required to qualify me for
Enbrel
...TB test, Hepatitus, etc. Also, she has to check with Medicare and my supplement insurance to find out if there are any restrictions related to my taking
Enbrel
, such as frequency of dosage etc.

Enbrel Cooler Bag?
I have travelled with
Enbrel
for some years in a cool bag but it only lasts a day. I have heard of a bag which holds
enbrel
pre-filled syringes which lasts for 48 hours which is available in USA. Anyone know of one available here? Muffin.

Enbrel
is working for me but will in one month do my DAS score(yes they do it) and decide on future treatment.

My
Enbrel
is being delivered today so have to be at home between 12.20 and 2.20 to get it in. My MTX injections still haven't arrived at my local pharmacy despite being ordered a week ago.

My 2 Year RA Anniversary
As it would take 6-8 weeks to start my nurse got him to agree I could retry
enbrel
. I had to persevere with the steroids and start
enbrel
again next week.

Anyone out there with Psoriatic Arthritis?
This may also explain why the
Enbrel
was not particularly successful but Abatacept can be better in these cases - who knows, wait and see eh? Caroline

Enbrel and breastfeeding - experiences please :-)
them ineffective and harmless - this is why
Enbrel
has to be administered as an injection.

Steroidal injection! I'm terrified!
I don't consider myself that much of a softie, as I do my
enbrel
every week & have my bloods every month. However, my consultant said that he was concerned about my right hand and suggested the injection: I muttered something about managing ok with it and, "if it's not broken, don't fix it".

Has anyone been taken off methatrexate because they were doing well on an anti-tnf?
Hello, after 9 weeks on
enbrel
and 15mg of MXT, I am doing very well, my consultant mentioned as I was leaving that in 3 months he will review and start to lower dose if things keep improving, this is great news as you'll all understand the horrors of this meds.

I feel the best since diagnosed last Feb, started
enbrel
5 weeks ago, only swollen knuckles, wrists and feet but only after resting for a while....few aches and pain but nothing compared to what it has been. Surely this my meds are working, any opinions?
