Decided to give Methotrexate another go
Been pondering about starting
enbrel
after being given the go ahead a couple of weeks ago. Anyway, make your mind up time arrived on thursday and I decided not to go ahead with
enbrel
. Instead my rheumatologist decided to put me back on mtx, which I was previously taking to good effect for 9 years.

Do you use Enbrel and are you travelling?
So when ordering a travel sharps bin this is what you require:
Enbrel
- Travel Bin Daniels 0.6L Yellow Sharps Bin DD509YL I discovered that if you only need this bin for one weeks travel, that if you just gently press close and not fully push down it will appear shut but that you can open it again,

Humira, Enbrel or Rituximab? I wonder if anyone else was given a choice, and if so, how they reached a decision
At my last appointment, the Rheumatologist gave me leaflets on Humira,
Enbrel
and Rituximab to peruse. I am not clear if this means I have a choice, but if I do, I wonder which is the most popular. As well as the risks, I might take into consideration HaH. Their 'service' sounds appalling.

leflunomide has started to make me feel sick
It is a bit of a shock to find that I can't tolerate these drugs and I am scared that if I don't get on with
Enbrel
there isn't a lot left o try. My esr level was 50 back in December. I have had RA since 2008 and had low crp levels but it all changed last September. We had a nasty stomach bug.

third Enbrel week
I said I'd report back on progress but I'm not sure there's much to say. I've had the occasional day when I've felt more active and ready to get up and do things, but after Monday's third injection I've felt very tired and achey. When I started I was on 10 pred a day, I'm now down to 5 and am planning

Can anyone share experience of coming off pred?
When I started
enbrel
, I began tapering after the second week and got down to five in almost daily drops. For the last 4 days my symptoms have returned painful, stiff joints plus puffy feet and ankles. I'm not getting support from the hospital, I'm checking with GP today.

Healthcare at Home. Anyone else having problems with them? Waited in 3 days last week. No show. Waiting in again today. Now out of Enbrel!!
Do you have a problem with them - please complain to the NHS and anyone else you can think of. They are abysmal. Never turn up with deliveries. Now have no injections left.

After 3 years of taking it, no more Methotrexate for me !!!!!
I've had 3
Enbrel
injections since recovering, but no MTX as my Doc thinks it is responsible for my eye problems, (it is one of the possible side effects).

What's the experience on here of enbrel injection site reaction? Got a small rash 5 days after second injection on both sites
The literature suggests that you should use steroid cream on it. Could this be connected to reduction of steroids? I'm down from 10 daily to 7. Advice would be welcome as I'm just beginning to detect benefits

Enbrel and severe Reflux.
I have just started
Enbrel
but my nights are disturbed 2 or 3 times due to terrible reflux and pains in my chest, but if I have a drink of milk it seems to go away, just wondered if anyone else has had this sort of disturbed nights ?? Wendy x

Starting Embrel
I've been taking it easy today, in the hope that will help the
Enbrel
to work. Its too early to expect any effect, but I'm wondering about a few things. I'm still not properly supported.

Enbrel starting day might be on hold
The nurse understood my concerns when I told her and agreed that I should not start
enbrel
until I hear what my urologist has to say, and to get back in touch after I've seen him.

Enbrel arrives Monday
I was in a very low place this morning, very stiff, tired and miserable. When first I get a caring message from NRAS to say they were looking into various issues I'd raised. I'd barely put the phone down when the call I'd been waiting for from bupa/healthcare came. I'm to expect delivery on Monday!
