Injecting Benepail
I was on
Enbrel
for many years and now I've been switched to Benepali pre-filled pen for about a year now. I've been able to reduce the sting by leaving it out of the fridge for longer and using ice!

Enbrel and COVID 19
My concern now is being at risk for catching COVID 19 because
Enbrel
suppresses the immune system. Has anyone heard or read of any reports indicating that persons using
Enbrel
or Humera or any other similar drugs and have contacted COVID 19 and has extreme difficulties or perhaps even died?

The Flu Vaccine, Inflammatory Arthritis, and COVID-19: What You Need to Know
Although researchers have also found that people taking methotrexate or TNF inhibitor biologics — like etanercept (
Enbrel
), adalimumab (Humira), and infliximab (Remicade) — do have an acceptable response to the flu vaccine, the response isn’t as strong as it is in healthy individuals who are not taking

NHS letter
Hi Has any one else just on
Enbrel
and still received the letter telling you that you are extremely vulnerable and to stay at home. I really didn’t think I would be receiving this letter? Is it because of the disease alone or because of the drug we take?

I’m Self isolating but should my daughter still go to school?
I have RA and take
Enbrel
, methotrexate and prednisone. Currently in a bad flare after having a baby 7 months ago and was due to change meds to Rituximab which I imagine will be postponed now.

Immunosuppressive drugs and COVID-19
My Rheumatologist suggested I extend the time between
Enbrel
injections to give my immune system a chance to recover after a typical Winter of URTIs.

Working Overseas - acquiring Enbrel for family member
Any suggestions on how to apply for financial support for
Enbrel
injections in Europe? Which countries subsidise the injections once you are working and paying tax?

Baricitnib
My question is who delivers this medication as HAH used to deliver my
Enbrel
. Obviously I have not seen any of my post since 12th Feb to get updates. So hence asking this community. Thank you.

Yes a New Drug after 16 years on Enbrel
Enbrel
has had to be discontinued after two spells of Heart Failure which has fully reverted to good output since stopping the drug. Now to start Baricitnib 4mgs and hope this medication works as well as the
Enbrel
which had not stopped working in 16 years.

Well today..hopefully a new drug
After having two spells of heart Failure a year apart , the professionals think the cause is linked to
Enbrel
as when drug is stopped the heart and lungs show good output. So have been off
Enbrel
this time since 13th November. I had been on it 16 years.

Pets
I have RA and take methotrexate and biological meds (
Enbrel
) and have recently read that animals can also catch Covid-19. I have two outdoor cats, is there any information regarding people with pets such as cats and dogs?

Hair loss / thinning
I take
Enbrel
injection every 2 weeks. Over the last year or so I’ve noticed my hair thinning and have bald patches. Has anyone else noticed this and can recommend supplements to help? Thanks 😊

Benepali & dizziness
Hi everyone, I was switched to Benepali from
Enbrel
back in July. Since the beginning of the year I’ve been having dizzy spells and vertigo and wondered if anyone else had experienced this or if this had nothing whatsoever to do with the drug!

Biologics and MTX?
Is this perhaps why MTX is often prescribed alongside a biologic such as
Enbrel
? I found this quotation here https://rawarrior.com/are-biosimilars-justice-in-competition-for-biologics-like-
enbrel
/ (Go to bottom of page, then up to 5th comment, or use page search)

Heart Failure due to Biologic therapy
I have been off
Enbrel
for 2nd time now due to a Heart failure incident almost a year to day after having the same. My Rheumatologist at time said there was not a link so started back on drug January last year. He has again told me to stop drug after again having problems in November 19.

Rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes,
The RA is under control with
Enbrel
and I have been place on insulin for the diabetes. I have so far tried 4 types of insulin but each one caused a flare-up of the RA.

Winter Blues
I inject Erelzi nee
Enbrel
for my RA which was diagnosed when I was 22 I am now almost 73. I am fine apart for the odd flare up for most of the year but I suffer from colds and chest infections throughout the winter months. I suppose this is down to the fact that the immune system is suppressed.

Visit to my rheumatologist
Had an appointment with the rheumatologist as I had to change back to
enbrel
as the benapali didn't work for me. Appointment went well all okay and will be sent another appointment in a few months.
