Weight gain and Lipomas, are they linked to anti TNF treatment?
My meds are 50mg Etanercept (
Enbrel
), 20mg morphine daily, Leflunomide 20mg daily, Lansaprazole 30mg twice daily, Metformin 500mg twice daily, Atenolol 25mg daily, Amitriptyline 50mg daily, Oxybutynin 5mg daily and pregabalin 150mg daily. With this cocktail I think I should be glowing in the dark.

7th Enbrel in the arm Fri morning to give tummy a little time to recover.
Woke up this morning (and also during the night) with one third of my upper arm bright red and swollen, very hot and very itchy. This afternoon at least 50% of arm is bright red etc etc. Will keep an eye on it and if it gets even bigger will go to Emergency. Have taken photos as I see consultant on

Rituximab - does it really help RA?
My Rheumy is looking at putting me onto Rituximab as the
Enbrel
is no longer working as it should. Any experiences of being on this drug gratefully received please. I am going to the hospital on the 12th to see the biologics Nursing Sister for a discussion about it.

Enbrel. Have a very red burning itchy rash on site of injection, lower abdomen. 6 injections so far. Does it improve? Sudocream helps.

Done and dusted.
Took the
Enbrel
again earlier this week and that has helped enormously. It has reduced the inflammation so I am not relying too much on Nurofen and Paracetemol.

Yet another issue with HAH.
A fella with my meds tucked under his sweaty armpit gives me my
Enbrel
and informs me that he's going to deliver it from now on, and "only lives in the next road, so I know where you are."

Inhalers, What is available ?
My GP told me that I was on the ONLY treatments available for COPD, I was on ONBREZ once a day combined with SERITIDE twice a day. I went home and did some research and found out about the new inhaler Relvar Ellipta, I went back to the GP and demanded this to try which meant stopping the other two inhalers

Anyone had a quickish response with Rituximab?
I responded very well to
Enbrel
just two days after but after five weeks it went downhill. I am on Humira since mid August but not enough response to it and my ESR high (was 85 in December, now 67, and fingers and knees swollen and stiff.)

2nd injection today. Used stomach and definitely didn't hurt very much at all. Leg is still sore from last week slight reaction around site. Haven't got enough strength in finger or thumb to press plunger maybe that will return soon. So far so good on results fingers crossed well one from each hand

Cracked and bleeding fingers
Enbrel
, Humira and for the past 2 years Cimzia. However about 8 months ago my breathing got very bad. I could only walk a couple of steps, this was put down to my COPD. But last June all of a sudden the skin on my fingers got hard and started peeling and splitting.

One Less Worry
Because I am now off the
Enbrel
for 5 weeks, everything is flaring. Taking Nurofen gel capsules and paracetemol - pretty sure that doesn't help the acid reflux either. What's worse, that or pain and inflammation. Sometimes just can't win. LavendarLady x

A quick hello!
It affects my left knee and both elbows but
Enbrel
+ MTX has worked absolute wonders despite having to scare/panic myself into injecting every week (have to do it in the time span of the toilet flush if I want the noise to cover my count to 10 with expletives in the middle).

Hi everyone, will be starting Enbrel and I am very nervous about these biologic drugs. Any feed back would be so welcome.
Also on 25 mg. injectable methotrexate weekly. All of the RA drugs make me very nervous. Diagnosed one year ago with RA and psoriatic arthritis.

Still Waiting (5) NOT.
Have to have blood tests 2 weeks beforehand which my surgery will organise rather than spending hours waiting in the path lab at the Hospital and have to stop the
Enbrel
2 weeks beforehand and for 2/3 weeks after because of the risk of infection.

Is there a Link between lack of sleep ( working nights ) and symptoms made worse??
My name is Antony, I've had RA for 4 years, I'm on
enbrel
and mtx! Am also on nortriptyline as I get fibro pain too, and struggle sleeping for over an hr at a time. I work in a warehouse on a forklift truck doing shift work!
